Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add peanuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
Meanwhile, remove and discard outer layer of iceberg lettuce. Halve lettuce, then separate 8 leaves from the head. Set aside. (NOTE: Use remaining lettuce for a future creation!)Thinly slice green onions, keeping green and white parts separate.
Reheat the same pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil then pork and green onion whites. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Reduce heat to medium, then add soy sauce, 2 tsp honey, peanut butter and 2 tbsp warm water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Divide lettuce leaves between plates, then fill with pork mixture. Top with carrots.Sprinkle peanuts and remaining green onions over top.Drizzle sriracha over top, if desired.
