Directions
list of 3 items
1. Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not tear
them. Set aside.
2. In a medium skillet over high heat, brown the ground beef in 1
tablespoon of oil, stirring often and reducing the heat to medium, if
necessary. Drain,
and set aside to cool. Cook the onion in the same pan, stirring
frequently. Add the garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar,
sauce to the onions, and stir. Stir in chopped water chestnuts, green
onions, and sesame oil, and continue cooking until the onions just
begin to wilt,
about 2 minutes.
3. Arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving
platter, and pile meat mixture in the center. To serve, allow each
person to spoon a
portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the
meat like a burrito, and enjoy!
