Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 16 Boston Bibb or butter lettuce leaves
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons minced pickled ginger
  • 1 dash Asian chile pepper sauce or to taste (Optional)
  • 1 can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped 8 ounce
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Asian (dark) sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not to tear them; set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease; transfer beef to a bowl.
  • Add onion to the same skillet; cook and stir until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and chile pepper sauce until well combined. Add water chestnuts, green onions, sesame oil, and cooked beef; cook and stir until the onions just begin to wilt, about 2 minutes.
  • Arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving platter; spoon beef mixture in the center.

Notes

Serve on small plates or have napkins available since the mixture can sometimes drip a little.
