Pork Yuk Sung (Chinese Lettuce Wraps)

Before you start cooking, separate and wash the Lettuce (1 head) leaves then keep them in the fridge until they are ready to be served.

Next, soak the Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (4) in warm water for about 30 minutes or until they turn soft.

While waiting for the mushrooms to soak, add to a bowl Corn Starch (1 1/2 Tbsp) , Salt (1 tsp) , and Ground White Pepper (1 dash) to the Ground Pork (1 lb) . Mix well, then allow to marinate for 20 minutes.

Prepare the sauce by combining in a small bowl Oyster Sauce (2 Tbsp) , Water (2 Tbsp) , Light Soy Sauce (1 Tbsp) , Rice Vinegar (1 Tbsp) , Dark Soy Sauce (1 tsp) , and Brown Sugar (2 Tbsp) .

Heat Cooking Oil (2 Tbsp) in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the ground pork until mostly cooked, then remove the meat from the wok, and set aside.

Add into the same pan the shiitake mushrooms, Carrot (1) , and Water Chestnuts (1/3 cup) and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes.

Add the Yellow Onion (1/2) and Garlic (3 cloves) to the wok, then stir-fry for 1 minute.

Turn off the heat, add the Scallions (2 stalks) to the wok, and stir again to combine the ingredients. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
