Best 4 Asian Inspired Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipes

ASIAN CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS (BETTER THAN P.F. CHANG'S)!

Steps:

• Whisk together sauce ingredients until well combined. If you use a firmer peanut butter you may need to microwave the mixture for 30-60 seconds in order to melt it and ensure everything is well-mixed.
• Heat 2 TBS peanut oil in a frying pan. Once hot, add ground chicken.
• Cook until some pieces are starting to brown. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is becoming translucent.
• Add the peppers and water chestnuts and cook about 5 minutes or until peppers are becoming soft.
• Add sauce and simmer on low heat until the chicken and veggies are evenly coated and everything is heated through.
• Serve in lettuce leaves, on top of your favorite Asian salad, or over noodles or rice!

ASIAN-INSPIRED CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Set 2 to 3 tablespoons green onions aside for garnish. Combine remaining green onions, water chestnuts, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Sriracha, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground chicken, garlic, and sesame oil. Cook and stir until chicken is crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add hoisin mixture to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fill lettuce leaves with chicken mixture and top with reserved green onions.

ASIAN INSPIRED CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Start by mixing 2 Tbsp of brown sugar with about ¼ c of soy sauce and a splash or two of rice wine vinegar. Set aside. In another mixing bowl, add all of the topping sauce ingredients and as much hot mustard and hot chili oil as you like. I usually use about a ¼ teaspoon of each and it is pretty spicy. Dice all the lettuce wrap ingredients into small pieces. Pour sesame oil into a hot skillet and start by cooking the chicken over medium high heat. When chicken turns white, add the onions until they turn translucent. Finally add the mushrooms and water chestnuts. Mix all ingredients together and cook until it turns golden. Once ingredients are almost fully cooked, add the minced garlic and the sauce mixture you made in the beginning. This last part is optional, but really adds a nice texture to the lettuce wraps. You can use a deep fryer or a pan of hot oil to fry off some rice noodles until they puff up. They will cook and burn extremely fast so you need to be careful with this! Take the lettuce cups and add the chicken mixture, top with crispy rice noodles and drizzle as little or as much topping sauce as you would like.
• Enjoy!

ASIAN-STYLE CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over MED heat and add the onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
• Add the chicken breast pieces and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Mix the garlic and ginger paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, tomato paste, rice vinegar, sriracha, hoisin sauce and chili paste together in a small mixing bowl.
• In another small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth.
• Once the chicken has cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken and stir. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth/cornstarch mixture and stir.
• Reduce the heat to MED LOW and let the sauce simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until thickened to your liking.
• Stir in the peanuts, then remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Keep in mind the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Lay the lettuce on a plate, add some filing to the middle, then garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions and serve.
