Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

4 cups water

2 cups uncooked white rice

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 pound ground pork

1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced

½ teaspoon minced garlic

1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cubed

2 carrots, shredded

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

¼ teaspoon hot chile paste

1 head iceberg lettuce leaves, separated

Directions

In a saucepan combine the water and rice. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes, until water is absorbed. Set aside and keep warm.

Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, green onions, and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly brown. Add the tofu, carrot, Hoisin, and soy sauce, stirring frequently until heated through. Remove from heat, and stir in the sesame oil and chile paste.

To serve: spoon a small amount of rice into each lettuce leaf, top with the stir-fry mixture, and drizzle with additional soy sauce or hoisin, if desired. Wrap the lettuce leaf to enclose the filling.
