PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps (Copycat Recipe)
Description
The PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps recipe features ground chicken cooked in a skillet with onions until translucent, then simmered with a sauce made from hoisin sauce, low sodium soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and freshly grated ginger. The addition of diced water chestnuts contributes a notable crunch contrasting the tender chicken blend. Chopped green onions are added near the end for a fresh, mild onion accent. The filling is spooned into butter lettuce leaves which serve as crisp, fresh cups, making the dish light yet flavorful.
The sauce balances sweet, salty, and tangy flavors, complementing the savory chicken base. Cooking the chicken and onions in a hot oiled skillet allows for proper browning and flavor development before adding the sauce mixture. The lettuce leaves are kept separate until serving to maintain their crispness.
This dish is well suited as an appetizer or light main course. The use of butter lettuce leaves provides an easy-to-handle portion size for serving. It pairs well with side dishes like steamed rice or simple vegetable stir-fries when served as a meal.
