- Combine the rice vinegar, fish sauce, and lime juice together. Then, pour the mixture over the pork. Stir in the cilantro as well. Continue cooking all the ingredients until the pork becomes a little crispy and golden brown. Set the pan aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare 4 large, clean, outer leaves from a head of green leaf or iceberg lettuce. Cut away the thick white core, so you have four large leaf cups. Use a slotted spoon to place ¼ of the pork in each leaf cup.
- Serve you Bahn Mi Lettuce Cups with your favorite toppings! Extra cilantro, lime juice, Sriracha, spicy mayo, sliced Thai chili peppers, or a cold cabbage slaw are all good toppings! These lettuce cups were served with Carb Manager Thai Peanut Sauce.
