Crispy, crunchy, spicy, savory, and slightly sweet—these vibrant lettuce wraps have it all. We like to use MOINK ground pork sausage here but any MOINK ground meat will work great. The dish is filling enough to serve as a one-dish meal, but it’s also great with steamed rice or Vegetable Fried Rice.

Cooking instructions
- Thaw the pork.
- Make the Peanut Sauce: Stir together all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Make the Lettuce Wraps: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and mushrooms and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink and both are browned. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.
- Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook 1 more minute, until fragrant. Stir in the water chestnuts, hoisin sauce, and chili garlic sauce (if using). Simmer 2 minutes or until the mixture is hot. Stir in the basil.
- To serve, divide the pork filling evenly between lettuce leaves. Top with carrots, peanuts, basil, and green onion, and drizzle with Peanut Sauce.
