Ingredients for Asian-Style Chicken and Lettuce Wraps:
Method of preparing the Asian-Style Chicken and Lettuce Wraps:
-
Prepare the sauce by whisking together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until fully combined.
-
In a large frying pan, heat the neutral oil over high. Sauté the white onion in the oil until soft and fragrant - about 4-5 minutes.
-
Add in the ground chicken. Break up any clumps using a spoon and continue cooking for 5 or until cooked and no liquid remains at the bottom of the pan.
-
Mix in the garlic and ginger to the ground meat and cook until fragrant. Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped water chestnuts and 1/4 cup of crushed peanuts. Stir until incorporated, then remove from the heat and add half of the sauce (around 1/2 cup) and mix until fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate the green onion, reserving a handful for garnish.
-
Fill each lettuce leaf with a dash of carrot and some chicken filling. Then top with a sprinkle of the reserved green onion, remaining 2 tbsp crushed peanuts, and cilantro.
-
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a platter and serve the lettuce wraps with the remaining sauce on the side.
