Air Fryer Korean Inspired Pork Tenderloin Lettuce Wraps
Pork tenderloin is the perfect vehicle for the spicy sweet sauce in these lettuce wraps. If you're not a fan of finger-food (no judgment!), you could also just transform the whole thing into a rice or grain-based bowl.
Ingredients :
- 1 lb. pork tenderloin
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 cup gochujang
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 head of Bibb or butter lettuce, leaves separated
- Sliced cucumber, sliced scallions, and cooked rice, for serving
Directions :
- Cut pork in half crosswise; season all over with salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine gochujang, garlic, honey, oil, and ginger. Transfer 1/4 cup gochujang mixture to a small bowl and stir in vinegar; set aside for serving. Add pork to bowl with remaining sauce and toss to coat.
- Lightly coat an air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Place pork in basket and cook at 350°, turning occasionally, until pork is golden brown and an instant- read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°, 16 to 19 minutes. Let rest about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Place pork in lettuce leaves, along with cucumber, scallions, and rice. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.
