The Thai Lettuce Wraps
- 1 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 1 lb ground chicken

- Make the sauce next by whisking the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and any liquid has evaporated from the pan, about 7 minutes.
- Add the carrot and bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the corn and the sauce and stir until the sauce is bubbly and thick. Stir in the green onions and cilantro.
- Fill the lettuce wraps and then top with some satay sauce and any or all of the garnishes.
