AMY'S LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup water and white sugar together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Warm in the microwave to dissolve sugar, about 30 seconds.

• Combine dry mustard with a few drops of water. Mix in remaining water until mixture is the consistency of hot mustard.
• Whisk 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon rice vinegar in a small bowl to make stir-fry sauce.

Pour in stir-fry sauce; stir to coat pork mixture evenly, 3 to 4 minutes.
