Directions

Directions

  1. In a small bowl stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, garlic, ginger, and chili garlic sauce. Set aside. Prepare as directed using desired cooker, below.

Fast 6 minute cook time

  1. For a 6 qt. electric pressure cooker use the saute setting to cook pork in hot oil, in batches if necessary, 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add onion and water chestnuts. Pour soy sauce mixture over pork mixture. Lock lid in place. Set an electric cooker on high to cook 6 minutes. For stove top cookers, bring up to pressure over medium-high heat; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure. Cook 6 minutes. Remove from heat. For both models, quickly release pressure. Open lid carefully. Using a slotted spoon, divide pork among lettuce leaves. Add desired toppings.

Slow 4 hour low or 2 hour high cook time

  1. In an extra-large skillet cook pork in hot oil over medium-high heat, in batches if necessary, 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Add onion and water chestnuts. Pour soy sauce mixture over pork mixture in cooker. Cover and cook on low 4 hours or high 2 hours until pork is tender. Using a slotted spoon, divide pork among lettuce leaves. Add desired toppings.
