Spicy Ginger Pork in Lettuce Leaves

Rate & Review

(147 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Annabel Langbein often travels to Hong Kong to meet with the printers who work on her cookbooks. At a Cantonese restaurant opposite her hotel in North Point, she tasted a version of this dish, served with piles of lettuce leaves and bowls of finely minced squab for diners to make their own salad cups. In her riff on that, Langbein uses chopped pork instead of squab; the recipe is also good with any poultry.

Pairing Suggestion

Pinot Gris grown in New Zealand's Marlborough region takes on a lush, stone-fruit depth substantial enough to pair with this aromatic, Asian-influenced pork dish. One of Langbein's favorite bottlings is the earthy 2005 Isabel Estate; another good choice is the pear-rich 2004 Nautilus.
