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

  • 2 teaspoons Thai chili sauce
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped

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.
