Braised Pork and Vermicelli in Lettuce Wrap

This quick and flavorful stir-fried vermicelli with napa cabbage and ham is a delicious one-pan meal that’s both easy to make and satisfying.

Finished with a touch of chicken essence for depth, this dish is a balanced harmony of textures and flavors—chewy noodles, crisp cabbage, and savory ham. Perfect for a speedy weeknight dinner, it’s a versatile recipe that can be customized with your favorite veggies or protein. Simple, tasty, and ready in minutes!
