Steps:
- Prepare the marinade by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Mix the ground chicken meat, chopped mushrooms and water chestnuts with all the Marinade ingredients. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the rice sticks by pouring 2 inches of vegetable oil into a wok and heating it on high to around 375 degrees. Add the rice sticks. They will instantly puff up and float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.
- Heat the cooking oil in a wok or saute pan over high heat. Saute the garlic until light brown and then immediately add the chicken. Stir-fry the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spoon until cooked through. Set aside.
- Serve the chicken with a side of lettuce cups.

Steps:
- Dice the chicken into tiny pieces. Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons soybean oil, ginger, garlic, chili flakes and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix together in circular motion until well mixed.
- Let marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
- Mix together the citrus juices, soy, and hoisin sauce with a whisk. Reserve until needed.
- Clean the romaine lettuce, chopping off the stem, peeling each 'spear' and running under clean cold water. Reserve in refrigerator until ready to use. Chop scallions into rings and reserve chilled.
- Coat a very hot sauté pan lightly with soybean or vegetable oil.
- Lay the chicken around the sauté pan being careful not to lay too many on top of each other. Sear the chicken until crispy and golden brown, about 2 ½ minutes. Once chicken is brown, toss gently in pan and sear another 2 ½ minutes. The pan will appear to "burn", but that is the carmelization and where all the flavor comes from.
- Add ½ of the citrus soy mixture to the sauté pan and coat well. Let the sauce coat the chicken until it is glazed, and thickens on the chicken. Add more or less depending on how "wet" you want your mixture. Spoon chicken onto a plate.
- Wrap the chicken mixture in romaine lettuce and top with scallion rings. Serve and enjoy!
- *Fun fact: this recipe can also be done with baby shrimps, fish or beef.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Don't overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still juicy.
- If you don't have time to make the lettuce wraps right away, you can store the cooked chicken and sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat them before assembling the wraps.
- To make the wraps easier to eat, cut the lettuce leaves into smaller pieces.
- You can add other vegetables to the wraps, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or cucumbers.
- Serve the wraps with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or duck sauce.
Conclusion:
These lettuce wraps are a delicious and healthy appetizer or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give these lettuce wraps a try.
