Crispy Pork Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce wraps are perfect for get-togethers; guests serve themselves, filling lettuce leaves with pork mixture and garnishes to wrap and eat. No knife and fork required! Here, canola oil’s high heat tolerance is ideal for sautéing and its neutral taste lets aromatics such as garlic and ginger bloom.

- 1 Tbsp canola oil 15 mL
- 1 lb lean ground pork 400 g
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
