Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Add half the chicken; cook, stirring constantly, until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Add remaining tablespoon oil to pan, along with the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until onion is tender and golden, about 4 minutes (reduce heat if browning too quickly).
- Reduce heat to medium; add garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds.
- Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch mixture; remove from heat. Add chicken and any accumulated juices; toss to coat. Serve in lettuce cups.

GINGER CHICKEN STIR-FRY ROMAINE WRAPS WITH CITRUS SOY (PF CHANG)
Found this on the PF Chang website. I'm hoping it's as tasty as the dishes I've tried at their restaurant. A note on the site said this can also be made with baby shrimp, fish, or beef. Vegetable oil can be used if you don't have soy bean oil.

Steps:
- Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons soy bean oil, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix together in circular motion until well mixed. 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 soy bean oil. Sauté the chicken (in a thin layer), searing 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 onto the romaine lettuce and top with scallion rings. Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right stir-fry sauce: The sauce is what brings the stir-fry together and adds flavor. Choose a sauce that you enjoy and that will complement the other ingredients in the stir-fry.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the stir-fry will taste. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and meat that is lean and well-trimmed.
- Cut the ingredients into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-2 inches in size.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Stir-fry in batches if necessary.
- Cook the stir-fry over high heat: This will help the ingredients cook quickly and retain their crunch.
- Stir the stir-fry constantly: This will prevent the ingredients from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Chicken stir-fry wraps are a quick, easy, and healthy meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious stir-fry that your whole family will enjoy.
