directions
Pork Mixture
In medium bowl, combine the ground pork with the mushrooms, bell pepper, garlic, ginger, chile sauce and fish sauce.
Cook
In large skillet or wok, heat canola oil. Add pork mixture and stir-fry over high heat, breaking it up, until cooked through and meat is starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Pour mixture into a strainer to remove excess oil from the pan. Return pork to pan over low heat and stir in water chestnuts, sesame oil, scallions, oyster sauce and cilantro. Toss mixture and remove from heat.
Serve
Trim lettuce leaves into 3-inch rounds. Brush very lightly with hoisin. Spoon 1 Tablespoon of pork into the middle of each leaf, garnish with peanuts and arrange on a serving platter.
Leftovers
Use leftover pork in fried rice, burritos, omelets or mixed with hoisin sauce and served on a bun.
