Make these sinfully delicious yet healthy Chinese and Japanese inspired lettuce wraps with Moo Shoo Pork, Sweet & Sour Shrimp, Teriyaki Chicken and Sesame Ginger Coleslaw at home  in just 3 simple steps. 

Start by making 3 quick marinades, simply add about 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar to 3 small bowls then add 3 tablespoons of Hoisin Sauce to the first bowl for the Moo Shoo Pork, 3 tablespoons of sweet and sour sauce to the second bowl for the Sweet and Sour Shrimp and 3 tablespoons of both soy sauce and honey to the third for the Teriyaki Chicken.  Mix in 2-3 cloves of minced garlic and a few dashes of Japanese hot sauce to each bowl.  Give them all a good whisk and pour the marinades into three Ziploc bags filled with 1 pound shrimp and 1 pound each thinly sliced pork and chicken.

Next heat a wok or skillet to medium high and add about 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil.  When oil is almost smoking add the pork (discard remaining marinade) and let it get nice and browned before turning.  Once it’s done in about 2-4 minutes, do the same thing with the chicken and shrimp.

To serve mix 1/3 cup sesame ginger salad dressing and 1 teaspoon horseradish with 3 cups coleslaw mix.  Place all the ingredients on the platter with white rice and Romaine or Bibb lettuce leaves.  Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions.  Feel good and enjoy!
