Step:

  1. In large skillet over medium high heat, cook the onion and ground pork until pork is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. While cooking, use your spoon to break up the pork into small pieces, pea-size or smaller.

  2. Add the minced garlic to the meat and cook another minute.

  3. Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and sriracha sauce (just a small dash!) and stir well. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the diced water chestnuts. Cook another 2 minutes to heat everything through.

  4. I like to serve by dishing up the meat mixture in individual bowls, sprinkled with minced green onions and chopped dry roasted peanuts; give everyone a teaspoon so they can fill their lettuce leaves one at a time as they eat them. You eat these similar to how you eat a taco; finger food.
