Ingredients
- 1 Package butter lettuce
- 1 lbs. ground chicken
- 1 tbsp. cooking oil
- 7 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 4 tbsp. hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 8 oz. water chestnuts, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp. chili garlic sauce
- Minced green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- First, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until it is no longer pink. Make sure the chicken crumbles in small pieces.
- Add the garlic when chicken is almost done.
- While the chicken is cooking, cover the dried mushroom with hot water and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove and squeeze out any excess water. Remove the tough stems and chop.
- When the chicken is done, add the mushrooms and water chestnuts and cook for 30 seconds.
- Then add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce.
- Mix well and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until thickened.
- Garnish with green onions. Serve with the butter lettuce.
Notes
- I use butter lettuce in this recipe as it comes in the perfect shape and size for these ground chicken lettuce wraps. However, any lettuce can be substituted - just tear into pieces 5" in diameter and it should work fine.
- Any kind of cooking oil will work, however, I like to use coconut oil for it's benefits and flavor.
- When cooking the chicken, make sure it crumbles in small pieces. Stirring often will help keep the chicken separated. You can also use a fork to separate it while cooking.
