Instructions

Mix the soy, apple cider vinegar, toasted sesame oil, hot sauce or chilli flakes and paprika in a small bowl.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook for 6 - 8 minutes until browned all over. Set aside.
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and peppers and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on a medium heat until soft.
Add the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds and continue to saute until fragrant.
Return the ground pork to the pan and add half of the spring onions.
Add the sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is warmed through, about 1 minute.
Break off all the outer lettuce leaves. Top with the pork filling, the remaining spring onions and sesame seeds.
