Serve this quick stir-fry family-style: set out a bowl of stir-fried pork and the lettuce leaves and let people make their own wraps.

To prepare sauce: Combine oyster sauce, water, hoisin sauce, vinegar, sherry (or rice wine), cornstarch, brown sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.
To prepare stir-fry:
Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet or wok.
Add pork; cook, stirring constantly, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to a plate.
Wipe out the pan. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil, garlic and ginger; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Add water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms have softened, about 4 minutes.
Return the pork to the pan and add the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until a thick glossy sauce has formed, about 1 minute.
Serve sprinkled with scallions and wrapped in lettuce leaves.
