Citric Acid Free Thai-Style Larb Lettuce Wraps

Fresh lime juice does the heavy lifting here, delivering that bright, tangy punch that makes larb so craveable — and since it comes straight from whole limes rather than any processed additive, it keeps things clean for anyone avoiding manufactured citric acid. The ground pork gets cooked down in a fragrant blend of coconut aminos, ginger, and turmeric before the dressing is stirred right into the skillet, letting every bit of meat soak up that bold, herby flavor. Once it's off the heat, a generous handful of fresh mint, cilantro, and basil gets folded in, and the whole thing smells absolutely incredible. Spooning the warm pork into cool, crisp butter lettuce cups gives you that satisfying contrast of textures that makes this dish feel like restaurant food you somehow made at home. Thin cucumber slices tucked alongside add a refreshing crunch, and the whole spread comes together on a platter that looks impressive without requiring much effort at all. It's the kind of meal that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.
