ingredients
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 cup hoisin sauce
- 4 tablespoons oil, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 carrot, peeled and finely diced
- 1 medium red potatoes, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, chopped
- 2 small head bibb lettuce or 1 head iceberg lettuce
directions
- In a small pan, combine half the garlic with the hoisin sauce. Cook over medium heat until thickened and beginning to turn syrupy, 2-5 minutes depending on the pot used. Stir often to prevent burning.
- In a large skillet, heat half the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion, ginger, and remaining garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft. Add pork and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the moisture has evaporated and the pork is cooked through and tender.
- In a second skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrot and potato. Cook until almost tender, then add red bell pepper and water chestnuts and cook for a few minutes longer. Add this mixture to the pork along with the reduced hoisin sauce. Stir well to coat the pork and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Separate and wash lettuce leaves; serve alongside pork.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
