Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 4 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 12 pieces iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped water chestnuts, salt, and black pepper to the pork mixture. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Step 3
Separate and rinse the iceberg lettuce leaves, then set them aside to dry. These will serve as the wrappers for your wontons.
Step 4
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the pork mixture to the skillet.
Step 5
Cook the pork mixture for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pork is fully cooked and slightly browned.
Step 6
In another pan, briefly sauté the cauliflower rice for 2-3 minutes until tender.
Step 7
To assemble the wontons, place a spoonful of the cooked pork mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, followed by a small scoop of cauliflower rice.
Step 8
Roll or fold the lettuce leaves around the filling to create a 'wonton' shape.
Step 9
Repeat the process for all lettuce leaves. Serve immediately with your choice of Whole30-approved dipping sauce, such as a spicy almond or cashew sauce.
