Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

½ cup water
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons water, divided
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon rice vinegar
3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
1 pound ground pork
1 cup minced water chestnuts
8 ounces chopped fresh mushrooms
3 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 teaspoon red chile paste, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup water and white sugar together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Warm in the microwave to dissolve sugar, about 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice, and sesame oil; mix until dipping sauce is well-blended. Cover with plastic wrap and chill, about 30 minutes.
  • Combine dry mustard with a few drops of water. Mix in remaining water until mixture is the consistency of hot mustard.
  • Whisk 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon rice vinegar in a small bowl to make stir-fry sauce.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add pork; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, water chestnuts, mushrooms, green onions, and garlic; saute until flavors combine, about 2 minutes. Pour in stir-fry sauce; stir to coat pork mixture evenly, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Cut out lettuce stem and wash thoroughly. Discard outer leaf. Carefully peel off whole leaves and slice in half lengthwise. Arrange on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Scoop dipping sauce into small bowls or ramekins. Mix in hot mustard and red chile paste to desired level of spiciness. Spoon pork filling into lettuce halves and roll up; top or dip wraps with dipping sauce.
