Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Make the marinade by mixing the soy sauce with the honey, brown sugar, spices and a splash of water. Put the pork in a shallow bowl, pour the marinade over, turning to make sure the steaks are well coated, then leave to marinate for at least 30 mins.

Step 2

Mix the carrot with the lime juice and a little sugar. Brush a piece of foil with oil and line the grill pan. Grill the pork steaks (or griddle if you prefer) for 4 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them incase the sugar in the marinade starts to blacken. When cooked, cut the pork into strips.

Step 3

Put the lettuce leaves out on a board and divide the pork between them. Add some carrot and cucumber, then fold in both ends of the lettuce leaf and roll up from one side to contain the filling. Serve with sweet chilli sauce and rice heated according to the packet instructions, if you like.
