ASIAN CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

This can be served hot or cold. I enjoy it hot. I also use chopped chicken as I like the texture better. If you do use ground chicken, be sure to brown it for a more pleasing color and flavor.

Time 30m

Yield 3 cups, 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 lbs ground chicken (see above note)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce (mae ploy sauce or sweet hot chili sauce)
1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup pine nuts (toasted)
2/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup garlic (minced)
1/4 cup fresh ginger (minced)

Steps:

  • Heat oil and cook chicken until brown.
  • Add soy, mae ploy, sesame seeds, pine nuts, rice vinegar, garlic,and ginger and cook one minute.
  • Serve in ramikin garnished with ground peanuts and fresh chopped cilantro.
  • Scoop into iceberg lettuce leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lettuce. Boston lettuce, butter lettuce, and romaine lettuce are all good choices for lettuce wraps because they are sturdy enough to hold the filling without getting soggy.
  • Prep the lettuce leaves ahead of time. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly, then store them in a single layer in a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly. Ground chicken can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as stir-frying, pan-frying, or baking. Make sure the chicken is cooked through before assembling the lettuce wraps.
  • Use a variety of toppings. In addition to the ground chicken, you can add a variety of other toppings to your lettuce wraps, such as shredded vegetables, chopped nuts, and crumbled cheese.
  • Make a flavorful sauce. A flavorful sauce can really take your lettuce wraps to the next level. Try using a hoisin sauce, a peanut sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.
  • Serve the lettuce wraps immediately. Lettuce wraps are best served immediately after they are assembled, so that the lettuce leaves stay crisp.

Conclusion:

Lettuce wraps are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy a variety of Asian flavors. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy Asian meal, give lettuce wraps a try.
