Pork Lettuce Wraps
Marinade Ingredients
2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp. dry sherry (I used red wine sherry)
1 Tbsp dark soy sauce (I used low sodium)
1 Tbsp oyster sauce
1 Tbsp dark sesame oil
1 Tbsp asian chile sauce (I use 1 tsp. since I don't like things very spicy. 1 tsp is basically no spice at all.)
3 cloves garlic finely minced
2 green onions
Other Ingredients
1 lb. fresh pork (I buy a 1-2lb pork tenderloin)
1/3 cup pine nuts (peanuts work well too; I omit them entirely)
1 head iceberg lettuce
peanut oil (or olive oil)
Instructions
Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cut the pork into bite size pieces. Coat pork evenly with marinade. Refrigerate at least 10 minutes, up to 8 hours. [Optional: toast pine nuts (or peanuts) in oven at 325 for 8 minutes, or until golden brown.] Separate lettuce leaves to use as cups.
When ready to eat, place wok or large sautee pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, heat peanut or olive oil. Add pork to the pan and cook until it loses its pink color (3-5 minutes). Stir in nuts if adding them.
Serve the pork in lettuce leaves. We add rice to the lettuce leaves, but it would be good on the side too. I also serve with a steamed veggie or a fruit.
