Stir-Fried Pork in Lettuce Leaves

Have you had the lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang's? Well these are just as amazing...and something a little different from the same ol', same ol' meals. Rave reviews by everyone, even my picky eater.

1/3 cup stir-fry sauce
1 T dry sherry (I just used a red wine I had sitting around)
1 t. cornstarch
1 lb. ground pork (not sausage)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 t. dark sesame oil
Iceberg lettuce leaves (green leaf and romaine work as well)

In small bowl, combine stir-fry sauce, sherry and cornstarch; set aside. Heat wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; add pork, onion, and garlic. Stir-fry until pork is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Add sauce mixture. Cook stirring often until pork is evenly-coated with sauce. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and sesame oil. Place 1/4 cup of the meat mixture in each lettuce leaf; wrap to enclose.
