To cook the pork: Heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan or large wok, over a medium-high heat. Add half the pork to the pan or wok and season.  Allow to brown, then remove to a dish while you cook the rest of the pork. Remove from the pan.  Add a little more oil and then add in the onion. Allow to cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.  Add back the pork and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Add the cabbage and carrots and cook for another 4-5 minutes. 

 Once the vegetables are tender add the ginger, lemongrass, chilli, fish sauce and lime juice. Mix until everything is well combined and cook until flavours come together, about 2 minutes. Mix through the herbs. 

 Combine all the ingredients for the drizzling sauce. 

 To serve: Spoon some of the rice, then the pork mixture into the lettuce leaves and drizzle over some sauce.
