Ingredients

2 ⅔ cups water
½ teaspoon salt
1 ⅓ cups long-grain white rice
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup diced red onion
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup diced carrot
½ cup chopped water chestnuts
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
⅓ cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
½ tablespoon honey
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon lime juice
12 romaine leaves
2 limes, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

Bring water and salt to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add rice. Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, brown pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to break up lumps, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate; drain grease from the skillet.
Heat oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, bell pepper, carrot, water chestnuts, and ginger; cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in pork, teriyaki, and honey; cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.
Fluff cooked rice with a fork, then fold in 1/4 cup cilantro, coconut milk, and lime juice.
Top lettuce leaves with pork mixture and rice. Garnish with lime wedges and chopped fresh cilantro.

Cooks' Note:

You can substitute napa cabbage for the romaine if desired.
