For a 6 qt. electric pressure cooker use the saute setting to cook pork in hot oil, in batches if necessary, 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add onion and water chestnuts.

For both models, quickly release pressure. Open lid carefully. Using a slotted spoon, divide pork among lettuce leaves. Add desired toppings.
