Pork is such a friendly protein ā it pairs well with almost everything! We particularly love it with ginger and lemongrass to create a dish full of Vietnamese-inspired flavours, like these zesty, zingy tacos!

Cooking Steps
ā¢ Finely chop garlic. ā¢ Grate carrot. ā¢ Thinly slice cucumber into sticks.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.
ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. ā¢ Add ginger lemongrass paste, garlic and Asian BBQ seasoning. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before cooking the sauce.
ā¢ Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate in 10 second bursts until warmed through. ā¢ In a medium bowl, combine carrot, cucumber and shredded cabbage mix. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Little cooks: Lend a hand by tossing the slaw to coat.
ā¢ Divide tortillas between plates. Spread with garlic aioli. Top with cabbage slaw, lemongrass pork and cucumber sticks. ā¢ Drizzle with sweet chilli sauce. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the tacos!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour:Ā The lemongrass and ginger pork was widely praised for its bold, fresh flavours, though some found the overall dish mild or underwhelming when assembled.
- Ease of prep:Ā Most found this a genuinely quick and easy weeknight meal, though a few noted the prep felt fiddly with multiple separate components.
- Suggestions:Ā Several customers recommended adding fresh coriander, diced tomato, or a little chilli to lift the flavour. Some suggested draining excess fat from the pork before adding the paste and seasoning, and a few preferred pork strips over mince to avoid dryness. Stirring the aioli through the slaw rather than spreading it on the tortilla separately also worked well for some.
- Leftovers:Ā A few customers enjoyed the tacos cold the next day for lunch, and at least one fussy eater specifically asked for leftovers.
- Portions:Ā Many customers felt the pork quantity was too small relative to the slaw, and several noted they needed extra tortillas to use up all the filling.
