- Remove cover and break meat apart with spoon. Add water chestnuts and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, mix together tamari, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, ginger and Siracha sauce.
- Turn heat back to medium and pour sauce over filling ingredients. Stir to combine and cook for 3 - 4 minutes until sauce begins to reduce slightly.
- Add minced scallions and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Clean lettuce and divide into individual leaves.
- Serve a few lettuce leaves with ½ cup of filling. Top filling with sprouts or any other additional toppings. Roll up leaves and eat.
