For a delicious taste of China, these pork mince lettuce cups are perfect starters for a family and friends gathering.

Pork is a flavoursome meat that goes brilliantly with zesty Asian flavours and classic European-style herbs. When minced, it’s very easy to cook with and works in everything from burgers and meatballs to Chinese san choy bow. Pork and veal go well together in a variety of dishes with a light flavour and slightly more tender texture compared to beef.
