Vietnamese Pork Rolls

These rolls are special, yet not hard to make. A simply dressed green salad with cucumber or radish
would be a perfect accompaniment. Cut them on the diagonal or cut the lettuce leaves into thirds and roll up smaller, hors d'oeuvre-size pieces.

Recipe Ingredients:
Dressing:
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes

Pork:
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound pork cutlets
1 (1/2 pound) head Napa cabbage, shredded (3 cups)
1 small red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
8 large Boston lettuce leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cooking Directions:
1 - For the dressing: Whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a
small bowl.
2 - For the pork: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and sauté until lightly browned, 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and slice into thin strips. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing.
3 - Combine cabbage, bell pepper, and remaining dressing in a large bowl. Lay lettuce leaves on a clean, dry work surface. Divide pork among leaves. Top with cabbage mixture and roll tightly, tucking edges in as you go. Place rolls, seam side down, on a cutting board, cut in half, and serve.
Makes 4 servings.

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Napa Cabbage......


I wasn't real sure exactly what Napa Cabbage was, here's what I found on WIKI......


Napa or nappa cabbage is a type of Chinese cabbage originating near the Beijing region of China, and is widely used in East Asian cuisine. Since the 20th century, it has also become a widespread crop in Europe, the Americas and Australia. In much of the world, this is the vegetable referred to as "Chinese cabbage". Wikipedia

* Rich in antioxidants. The flavonoid content and large amounts of vitamin A and C make Chinese cabbage a rich source of antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect the body from free-radicals and degeneration. They are essential for both maintaining a youthful look as well as keeping your body fit and strong.
