Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps or

This is my favorite appetizer to get at chinese restaurants. Although this is a different version than I have had before, it is sure to be as good as the rest. This recipe comes from the Jasmine China Bistro in Salt Lake City, Utah.

These lettuce wraps were a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the sauce was too sweet.

The chicken in these lettuce wraps was a bit dry. I think I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I had a hard time finding lettuce wraps that were the right size. I ended up using regular lettuce leaves.

These lettuce wraps were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
