Ginger Pork Lettuce Wraps

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 2 dozen.
When I make Asian-spiced lettuce wraps with lean ground pork, I remind my family they’re meant to be an appetizer—but maybe I should just call it supper. —Mary Kisinger, Medicine Hat, Alberta

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground pork
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Thai chili sauce
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 24 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves

Directions

  • 1. In a large skillet, cook pork and onion over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until pork is no longer pink and onion is tender, breaking up pork into crumbles.
  • 2. Stir in hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce and chili sauce until blended. Add water chestnuts, green onions and oil; heat through. To serve, place pork mixture in lettuce leaves; fold lettuce over filling.
