Yield: 8 servings

2 tbsps cornstarch
1 garlic clove, minced
12 oz (375 g) lean ground pork, beef or turkey
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsps vegetable oil
1 onion, finely diced
1 large carrot, julienned
16 Boston Bibb or Butter Lettuce leaves
Half a large English cucumber, julienned
Half an avocado, thinly sliced
1 sweet yellow or red pepper, julienned
2 green onions, sliced on an angle

1. In a medium bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt and pepper and the ground meat or poultry. Let it stand for 5 minutes
2. In a large pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and fry the onions for about 5 minutes or until slightly cooked. Stir in the meat or poultry mixture and stir fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink and cooked through. Drain the fat, if necessary.
3. For each serving, spread the lettuce leaf and layer with about 1/4 cup of the meat or poultry mixture and top off with 1/8 of the carrot, cucumber, avocado, red pepper and green onions. Make sure not to over-fill the lettuce leaves to the point that it is too difficult to roll. Serve with our Asian Unpeanut Peanut Sauce (see under "Sides and Mixes"). To complete the meal, serve with a side of beans and rice.
