San Choy Bao - Lettuce Wraps with Minced Meat

Prepare the iceberg lettuce: Carefully remove the leaves from the head, wash them, and pat them dry. If necessary, trim the edges into a round shape to create small cups. Set aside.

For the sauce, mix 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, and 3 tbsp water. For the dressing, stir together 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 3 tbsp hot water. Set both aside.

Sauté spring onions, onion, and minced pork in a medium-hot wok or large pan with 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 2 tbsp sesame oil for about 5 minutes. Add the remaining finely chopped vegetables (corn, celery, carrots, shiitake) and the prepared sauce. Cook for another 10 minutes until the sauce has almost completely reduced and all ingredients are thoroughly cooked.
