Notes about this recipe

    Made with ground turkey. Also used Thai basil, but was a little short of the full amount. Increased the fish sauce and lime for more flavour, and would to 2-3x the amount of chile next time. Served with Bibb/Boston lettuce, peanuts, and sliced red onion to wrap, then some confetti rice salad for the leftover meat mixture. I think it would be great with a little shredded cucumber and pickled something next time.

    We really liked this after making several modifications. I added cooked rice vermicelli noodles (tossed with sesame oil) to the cooked pork mixture to give it more bulk. I increased the soy mixture to give the flavors a boost. Assed shredded mint and thinly sliced Persian cucumbers to the garnishes. Used Tokyo benhana from my CSA as the wrap. Served with coconut rice.

    Great flavors. I'd add cilantro and mint to the toppings, and not sure the pork needs to cook a full seven minutes. To make this again, I'd definitely want to prep as many of the veggies in advance as possible. I made brown rice noodles to go in the cups as well, but wish I'd seasoned them - next time.

    Light and delicious. I used lean ground beef instead of ground pork and sesame oil instead of peanut (peanut oil not in stock at any of my three grocery stores lately). After the prep and chopping, the stir frying of the ingredients goes quickly. We really liked the subtle flavors and lighter than restaurant take on this dish. Served with brown rice.

    Used chicken instead and doubled the seasonings. Keeper.

    Very tasty. There's a bit of chopping to be done but cook time is brief. It all came together in the time it took to cook the rice I served with it. I used extra lean ground turkey.

    Quick, easy, and perfect. I served rice vermicelli tossed in sesame oil to wrap up in the lettuce along with the filling - otherwise, this would have been a very light dinner for four.
