From Food and Wine magazine, September 2006 ed. I decreased the amount of oil used. This does require quite an inventory of ingredients, but it is worth it!
Ingredients:
3/4 lb ground pork
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced (or 1 tsp. minced garlic)
1 tablespoon crushed ginger (from a jar)
1 tablespoon thai sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts (drained and diced)
2 scallions (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 head boston lettuce (leaves separated and rinsed)
Directions:
1. 1. Combine first 7 ingredients.
2. 2. Stir-fry mixture over high heat, breaking up pork, and cooking through until brown (about 8 minutes).
3. 3. Stir in remaining ingredients and remove from heat.
4. 4. Serve family style with pork mixture in a bowl and lettuce leaves stacked on a plate.
