Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it's browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced shallots to the skillet, stirring them into the pork. Cook for another 2 minutes until the shallots are softened.
In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, lime juice, red chili flakes, and granulated erythritol. Pour this mixture over the cooked pork and stir well to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro, mint leaves, green onions, and shredded kaffir lime leaves. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
To serve, spoon portions of the larb into butter lettuce leaves. Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts if using.
Serve each wrapped lettuce leaf on a platter with additional lime wedges on the side for added zing.
