Pork with hoisin sauce is folded into lettuce wraps for a quick Chinese meal Maurice Cohn Band/Miami Herald Staff

Feel like Chinese tonight? This dinner is faster and less expensive than take-out. Crisp, stir-fried pork served in little lettuce puffs with scallions and cucumber takes only minutes in a wok. The meat should be crisp on the outside and tender inside. The secret is to make sure your wok or skillet is very hot before adding the meat and to add the meat a few pieces at a time.

Use the same wok for the rice. Pan juices from the meat will flavor the rice. Fried rice is great made with leftover rice.
