Make
- Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then pork. Saute pork to get it started cooking (but not cooked through), ~4 minutes. Drain excess grease out of the pan.
- Pour sauce over pork and bring to a simmer. Simmer until sauce has reduced slightly and pork is finished cooking, ~2 minutes more. Taste and season with some salt, if needed.
- Set out lettuce cup ingredients - pork, lettuce leaves, mint, lime wedges, cashews, and hot sauce.
- Fill lettuce cups at the table. Enjoy with smoothie on the side.
