PORK LETTUCE WRAPS

1 head iceberg lettuce

1 egg white
1 tsp white wine
1 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp salt
¾ ground beef or pork
4 tbsp peanut oil
½ cup chopped Chinese mushrooms
½ cup chopped water chestnuts
4 tbsp dark soy sauce
¼ tsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
Hoisin Sauce

Makes about 12 rolls enough for 4 – 6 people

Ahead of time, separate the lettuce leaves, rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange on a serving platter and refrigerate.

In a medium bowl, combine egg white, wine, cornstarch and salt. Add ground meat and marinate 15-20 minutes. Heat oil in a wok over medium heat and stir fry mushrooms about 1 minute. Add meat mixture and stir fry until it loses its red color and the liquid evaporates. Add water chestnuts, soy sauce, sugar and salt, and stir fry 1 minute.
