Shredded Pork Pancake Wrap
Five-spice-braised shredded pork tossed in tamari-hoisin glaze, wrapped in a warm rice-flour pancake with scallion and cucumber. This gluten-free version replaces wheat wrappers and regular soy sauce with rice flour and tamari, keeping the sweet-savory five-spice character intact.

Instructions
1
Prep
Cut pork into chunks. Smash garlic, slice ginger, halve one scallion for braising, thinly slice the other for garnish, and julienne cucumber.
2
Sear
Heat sesame oil in a small pot over medium-high heat and sear pork chunks 3–4 minutes per side until browned on outer edges.
3
Braise
Add garlic, ginger, halved scallion, five-spice powder, stock, rice vinegar and sugar; cover and simmer over low heat 90 minutes until pork shreds easily.
4
Reduce
Uncover and simmer pork in its liquid over medium heat 4–5 minutes, stirring, until sauce clings thickly to meat rather than pooling.
5
Plate
Stir in tamari and hoisin substitute, warm rice-flour pancake in a dry skillet 20–30 seconds per side, fill with pork, scatter cucumber and scallion, roll tightly, slice diagonally, and serve seam-side down.
