Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

• ¼ cup hoisin sauce ((60mL))
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 pound ground chicken ((450g))
• 1 onion (diced (195g))
• 1 red bell pepper (seeded and diced (180g))
• 1 (8-ounce/226g) can water chestnuts (drained and finely chopped)
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 12 Bibb or butter lettuce leaves
• 3 green onions (chopped (20g))
• ¼ cup chopped peanuts ((40g))

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Set aside.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring to break into small crumbles, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the onion, bell pepper, water chestnuts, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are beginning to soften, about 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in the sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is well covered in sauce, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

5. 5

   Spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle the lettuce wraps with green onions and peanuts. Serve immediately.
