Key Ingredients
- 10 leaves fresh lettuce
- 1/2 crisp apple
- 2 firm tomatoes
- 1/2 sweet carrot
- 2 soft boiled eggs
- 2 slices of cheese
- Leftover pork hock (optional) a small amount
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for your sandwich. Wash the 10 fresh lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Thinly julienne the 1/2 apple, 2 tomatoes, and 1/2 carrot. Peel and prepare the 2 boiled eggs. Cut the 2 cheese slices in half. If you have leftover pork hock, dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. (The pork hock is an optional ingredient that adds flavor.)
Step 2
Now, it’s time to prepare the lettuce that will wrap your sandwich. Spread a large sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface. Lay 5 of the prepared lettuce leaves on top of the plastic wrap, overlapping them slightly. Using plastic wrap will make it much easier to roll and secure the sandwich later.
Step 3
Start layering the filling ingredients on top of the lettuce. First, evenly spread the julienned 1/2 carrot over the lettuce. The crispness and color of the carrot will add vibrancy to your sandwich.
Step 4
Next, add the thinly sliced 1/2 apple over the carrots, arranging it nicely. The apple’s refreshing tartness will balance out any richness and create a harmonious flavor profile.
Step 5
Add a smooth texture by crumbling or finely dicing the 2 boiled eggs and sprinkling them evenly over the other fillings. Eggs are a great source of protein and contribute to a satisfying meal.
Step 6
Thinly slice the 2 fresh tomatoes and arrange them attractively on top of the fillings. The juiciness and rich flavor of the tomatoes will make your sandwich even more delicious.
Step 7
If you’ve prepared it, add a small amount of your diced leftover pork hock over the fillings. The savory flavor and chewy texture of the pork hock will add a unique dimension to your sandwich.
Step 8
Add the savory flavor by placing the cheese slices, cut in half, amongst the other fillings. As the cheese melts, it will blend with the other ingredients, creating an even more delectable sandwich.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to cover the top of the sandwich. Carefully place the remaining 5 lettuce leaves over the filling ingredients. This layer helps to hold the fillings in place and prevents them from spilling out.
Step 10
It’s time to roll the sandwich tightly, just like making a kimbap (sushi roll). Use the plastic wrap to carefully and firmly roll up the sandwich so it doesn’t come apart. Wrapping it tightly with plastic ensures it holds its shape, making it easier to eat.
Step 11
Finally, cut the tightly rolled sandwich in half to create serving-sized portions. Using a sharp knife will give you a clean cut. Your delicious lettuce wrap sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed!
Step 12
Ta-da! Your ‘Lettuce Wrap Sandwich’ is complete, packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The delightful combination of crisp lettuce and a variety of fillings will bring pure happiness with every bite. Enjoy your meal!
