Ingredients

Method

In wok or nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat; saut? pork until browned, about 3 minutes. Scrape into bowl; set aside.

Add remaining vegetable oil to wok; saut? garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add red and yellow peppers; saut? until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Return pork and any juices to wok. Stir in 1 tbsp of the hoisin sauce and 2 tbsp water; cook until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, about 1 minute.

Add green onions, sesame seeds, salt and pepper; saut? for 30 seconds. Remove from heat; stir in cashews and sesame oil. Scrape into clean bowl.

In small bowl, whisk together remaining hoisin sauce, the vinegar, chili sauce and 4 tsp water. Spoon pork mixture into lettuce leaves; serve with hoisin dressing.
