INSTRUCTIONS:



In a small bowl whisk together the soy, hoisin, rice wine vinegar and Sambal if using. Reserve. 



 



Coat a large saute pan liberally with oil and bring to a medium high heat. Toss in the onions and saute for 2 minutes.  Add the garlic and ginger, stir to combine and add the pork.  Using a metal spoon or spatula, break apart the pork. Cook until the pork starts to brown, about 3-4 minutes. 



 



Add the reserved sauce to the pan and cook until the liquid has reduced by about half, 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the water chestnuts. 



 



Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the scallions and peanuts if using. Serve alongside the lettuce leaves. It’s a DIY situation- wrap it up!!!
