Pork & Glass Noodle Lettuce Cups

Lettuce cups are a family favourite for us. Sometimes I change the protein and make lemongrass beef or use chicken mince, but we always have the glass noodles, herbs and lots of lettuce. Using roast pork here is great as the crackling adds more crunch and flavour, PLUS you will have dinner on the table in about 15 minutes! My kids usually want sliced cucumber in theirs too and stay away from the chilli so adjust to whatever you have in the fridge. This is my kind of food – it’s fresh and healthy, quick to prepare, full of texture and totally delicious.
