Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Classic PF Chang’s-style lettuce wraps at home. Great appetizer or light dinner.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground chicken
• 1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
• 1 cup water chestnuts, diced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• Sauce: 3 tbsp hoisin sauce, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sriracha
• Vegetable oil for cooking
• Crispy rice noodles for topping (optional)

Directions

1. Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, breaking apart.
3. Cook 6-7 minutes until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
4. Add garlic and ginger, cook 1 minute. Add water chestnuts and green onions.
5. Pour sauce over chicken and toss to combine. Cook 1-2 minutes until sauce is absorbed.
6. Spoon filling into lettuce cups. Top with crispy noodles if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Water chestnuts provide an essential crunch. Butter lettuce (Bibb) forms the best cups — use outer leaves and stack two together per cup for sturdiness.
