Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 2 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 can (8 oz) Water chestnuts, diced
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 12 leaves Butter lettuce leaves (or Romaine lettuce)
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the cooking oil. Once hot, add the ground pork, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until aromatic.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir well to coat the pork evenly.
Add the diced water chestnuts, shredded carrots, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
To serve, spoon the ginger pork mixture into individual lettuce leaves and fold them like a taco or roll them up. Enjoy immediately.
