PF Changs Lettuce Wraps

Recipe given by Paula Taylor

1 T olive oil

1 Pound ground chicken 

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, diced

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

2 T soy sauce

1 T rice wine vinegar

1 T freshly grated ginger

1 t Sriracha, or more, to taste

1 (8-ounce) can whole water chestnuts, drained and diced

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 head butter lettuce

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat.  Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.

Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger and Sriracha until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.  Stir in chestnuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes.; season with salt and pepper, to taste. 

To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style.

Paula served this with diced chicken instead of ground chicken and she left the Sriracha out of the recipe.
