I thought it was really good! I didn't have all that it required so I swapped out the stir-fry sauce for teriyaki the sherry for red wine sesame oil for safflower oil and added soy sauce and lime juice. Then I didn't have cornstarch so I sub'ed with flour.. used chicken instead of pork and didn't add as much cilantro. haha I guess it is pretty far off from the recipe but it was amazing still!

This was ok. Didn't really like the taste of the stir fry sauce and would prefer it with chicken mince instead of pork. I will make again and just play around with the flavours to get something we like. It is a nice light meal and inexpensive to make. Read More

YUM! Great use for ground pork! I didn't have cilantro so I chopped up some bok choy for color. Also served with some bok choy leaves as well as lettuce. Very very easy. I'll make this again. Read More

Wow wow and more wow! I am one happy camper right now. Made this for lunch and cannot believe how simple and quick this was. This is delicious. I omitted the corn starch because I didn't have any but I don't even think you need it. I also substituted brandy for the dry sherry since I was out. Next time I will up the cilantro amount because I love cilantro or will try the whole cilantro in the wrap thing. This is really good and I found myself picking at the pan and eating it without the lettuce. I think it would also be good served over rice or asian noodle dish. Great stuff. Try it and you will be amazed. Read More

This recipe was delicious. It tasted just as good as the version you get at chinese restaurants. I am sure you could use ground chicken as well for this recipes. I served this with a spicy chili dipping sauce Read More

I just made this for a dinner party and I don't think it's going to make it out the door! Amazing! The only thing I added was a handful of fried noodles crumbled up for texture- and I am using butter lettuce. Super!!! Read More

I didn't care for the strong flavor of the stir-fry sauce but loved the ease of the recipe. I probably will just go back to my old recipe that includes chopping up all the water chestnuts bamboo shoots & mushrooms. Read More

this was too salty. I LOVE lettuce wraps but wouldn't make this again. Not a very great flavor and what flavor there was seemed overpowered by the salt. Read More
