Why This Recipe Works: To get uniform, moist pieces of meat in our Thai pork lettuce wrap recipe, we chopped pork in the food processor and then marinated it in a little fish sauce so it would retain moisture during cooking. To refine our Thai pork recipe’s taste, we added sugar to balance the tart (lime juice), salty (fish sauce), and hot (dried chiles) flavors characteristic of Thai cuisine.

Notes from the test kitchen: We prefer natural pork in this recipe. If using enhanced pork (pork that has been injected with a salt solution to enhance the flavor and juiciness), skip the marinating and only use 2 Tbsp of the fish sauce.
