Ingredients

Meatballs

1 pound ground pork
2 green onions chopped
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic grated or minced
2 teaspoons ginger peeled and grated
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cups angel hair slaw mix or very finely shredded cabbage
pinch salt and pepper
1 tablespoon oil

Lettuce Cups

1 head boston lettuce you need at least 8 leaves for cups
1 red pepper sliced
1 cucumber cut into half moons

Sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sweetener of choice splenda, stevia, honey, ect
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

In a large bowl mix together all the meatball ingredients except the tablespoon of oil, you will use this to cook them. Form these into 1 1/2 to 2 inch balls. Heat oil in a large skillet and gently place the balls in. Let them brown on each side before turning them. The will break apart if you try to move them around too much, As they cook they will firm up. I used tongs to easily flip them around. This will take around 15 minutes to cook them through.
As the meatballs are cooking slice the cucumber and red pepper, wash and separate the lettuce and place on a platter. Mix the sauce and season with extra crushed red pepper to taste. When the balls are done transfer the to the platter and serve. If you are making this meal for a mixed low carb and traditional eating household add some cooked rice on the side for the non low carb eaters! Enjoy
