Scale
Sauce
- 3 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Sriracha (optional)
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
Filling
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. freshly grated ginger
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1/2 cup canned water chestnuts, drained and sliced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To Serve
- Large leafy lettuce leaves, separated
- Cooked white rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, Sriracha, and sesame oil until well combined and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics and cook chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until opaque and mostly cooked through.
- Add sauce and finish filling: Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and the chicken to finish cooking through. Remove from heat and stir in sliced water chestnuts and green onions. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each separated lettuce leaf. Optionally serve with cooked white rice. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of Sriracha or add chili flakes.
- Ground turkey or pork can be substituted for ground chicken.
- Butter lettuce or Bibb lettuce works best as it is tender yet sturdy enough to hold the filling.
- Make sure to drain water chestnuts well to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
- Prep all ingredients before cooking for a smooth, quick process.
