Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce (60mL)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
For the Chicken:
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 pound ground chicken (450g)
- 1 onion diced (195g)
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced (180g)
- 1 (8-ounce/226g) can water chestnuts drained and finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves minced
For Serving:
- 12 Bibb or butter lettuce leaves
- 3 green onions chopped (20g)
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts (40g)
Instructions
For the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Set aside.
For the Chicken:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring to break into small crumbles, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, water chestnuts, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are beginning to soften, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is well covered in sauce, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle the lettuce wraps with green onions and peanuts. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Allow the filling to cool slightly before serving. This will keep the lettuce base from wilting. If this filling is too hot, it can make the wrap wet and soggy.
- Mix in extra veggies. Feel free to add more vegetables to the filling for a pop of color, nutrition, and flavor. Great options are shredded carrots, diced zucchini, or chopped mushrooms.
- Add more heat. For spicier lettuce cups, increase the amount of sweet chili sauce or add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the chicken filling.
- Garnish with additional toppings. Add flavor and texture with extra toppings like sesame seeds, Thai basil or mint, wonton strips, sliced avocado, bean sprouts, or serve with fresh lime wedges.
- Reinvent leftovers. Serve leftover filling over hot rice or rice noodles as a bowl, or chop up the lettuce and drizzle with a ginger dressing, then scatter the filling on top for a quick and easy salad.
