Lettuce wraps with miso pork

1. 1

   First, prepare the fillings and set aside: cook the rice. Soak the noodles in hot water following packet instructions, drain, then mix with the sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic and a pinch of salt. You can serve the vegetables raw or stir-fry them and finish with a splash of soy sauce and mirin, if you like. Fry the eggs, if using.

2. 2

   To make the miso pork, heat the sesame oil in a large pan over a high heat and stir-fry the pork, adding the spices or walnuts, if using. Add the ginger and stir-fry until the pork has changed colour. Add the sake and soy sauce and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, then add the sugar and miso and mix until well combined. Simmer over a low heat for another couple of minutes then transfer to a serving bowl.

   Put the lettuce leaves on a large plate. Set all the fillings out on the table and let people assemble their own lettuce wraps.
