Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Shallots - 1 medium, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Brown erythritol sweetener - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Cucumber - 1 small, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - a handful
• Chili pepper - 1, sliced (optional)
• Lime - 1, for serving

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, shallots, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown erythritol, black pepper, five-spice powder, and sesame oil to create a marinade.
2. Cut the pork shoulder into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Grill the marinated pork strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred.
5. While the pork is grilling, prepare the lettuce wraps by washing and drying the lettuce leaves.
6. Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. To assemble, place a few strips of grilled pork in the center of a lettuce leaf, top with cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and chili pepper if desired.
8. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the filling and wrap the lettuce around the ingredients to create a burger-style wrap.
9. Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
