Sticky pork lettuce wraps

Make our easy pork and lettuce wraps for a light summer lunch. Marinate the pork steaks beforehand in a mouthwatering concoction of honey, soy sauce and spices. Kids can then assemble their own wraps using the pork, along with carrot and cucumber matchsticks. If you’re prepping these for a school lunch, pack them join-side down so they don’t open up.
