Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1 tbsp canola oil
⅓ cup diced yellow onion
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste
2 tbsp sesame oil
½-1 tsp Sriracha
¼ cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin or rice wine vinegar
5 oz canned water chestnuts drained and diced
3 green onions
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 head butter lettuce leaves separated, rinsed, and patted dry
ground pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Saute ground chicken and onion in the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Sprinkle with a bit of black pepper while cooking, but do not add any salt until all of the sauce ingredients have been added, and you can taste the finished seasoning.
When all the moisture has evaporated from the skillet, chicken is no longer pink, and the onions are soft and translucent, add the garlic and saute a bit longer until the garlic is fragrant.
Add ginger, sesame oil, Sriracha, hoisin, soy sauce and mirin to the skillet. Cook and stir until the ingredients are well blended and simmering.
Add in water chestnuts and sliced green onions and heat through. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Spoon chicken mixture into lettuce leaves and serve.

Notes

Storage:

While these chicken lettuce wraps are definitely best when eaten fresh, you may have leftovers. Store the leftover lettuce wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best if you can store the filling and lettuce separately. When stored together the lettuce tends to get soggy and it can make reheating the chicken a bit tricky.

Important Notes:

Do not add any salt until all of the sauce ingredients have been added, and you can taste the finished seasoning. That way you can add the salt to your liking and you save the dish from getting too salty.
You can adjust the Sriracha for a more or less spicy flavor. If you like really spicy food you could also add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
