How to cook deliciously - Asian Lettuce Wraps

1. Stage

Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not to tear them; set aside.

Stir in hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and chile pepper sauce until well combined. Add water chestnuts, green onions, sesame oil, and cooked beef; cook and stir until the onions just begin to wilt, about 2 minutes.

Arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving platter; spoon beef mixture in the center. Chef'd
