1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 onion, finely chopped
1 pound lean ground pork
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ cup chopped green onion
½ cup hoisin sauce
¾ cup pine nuts
2 cups diced (1/2-inch) watermelon

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy, non-stick skillet over high heat. Cook and stir the garlic, ginger, and onion in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute; add the ground pork to the mixture and cook until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from the skillet.

Fold the watermelon into the mixture.
  • Spoon the pork mixture into the middle of the lettuce leaves; wrap the lettuce around the filling to serve.
