Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

Sauce:
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Wraps:
Brown pork over high heat, breaking it apart as it browns. Remove from pan to a bowl and crumble any large chunks. Add bell peppers, mushrooms and jalapeno to same skillet. Sauté about 10 minutes. Stir in water chestnuts, scallions and cooked pork. Add sauce and cook about 5 minutes stirring constantly until sauce reduces.
To serve, divide lettuce leaves between 4 plates. Top leaves with a spoonful of rice and then a spoonful of the pork mixture, do not overfill. To eat, just pick up leaves with your fingers, wrap leaves around filling and enjoy.
