Oriental Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

This has a lot of ingredients, but is totally easy to make. An excellent home cooked meal that tastes like Chinese take-out! You can also make these as appetizers (as they are served at the restaurants such as PF Changs).

2/3 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (or more to taste)
1/2 lb ground chicken or 1/2 lb ground turkey
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons dry wine or 2 teaspoons brandy
1/4 cup hoisin sauce

2 green onions, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, chopped

I love the crunch of the wonton strips in these lettuce wraps. It adds a nice textural contrast to the soft chicken and lettuce.

These lettuce wraps are a great alternative to traditional tacos. They're lighter and healthier, but just as delicious.

I've tried many lettuce wrap recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is perfectly balanced.
