Ingredients

• 1 pound(s) uncooked ground pork
• 4 medium uncooked shallot(s), peeled, sliced in half and then sliced 1/4-inch thick, divided
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice, divided
• 2 medium uncooked scallion(s), sliced
• 1 Tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tsp chili sauce, hot Asian-style, or to taste
• 1/4 cup(s) mint leaves, fresh, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork, 1/4 of shallots and 1 tablespoon of lime juice, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up pork as it cooks, until pork is no longer pink, about 6 to 7 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine remaining shallots, lime juice, scallions, fish sauce, chili sauce, mint and cilantro; add pork mixture and toss well to coat.
3. To serve, place 2 or 3 lettuce leaves on a plate; divide about 3/4 cup of pork mixture over top and serve with cucumber slices.
