Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps
These chicken lettuce wraps are so tasty and come together in less than 30 minutes.
Servings: 8 wraps
Ingredients
- ½ lb ground chicken
- 3 tbsp Rice vinegar
- ½ tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- ½ tbsp Ginger paste or 1tsp fresh ginger minced
- 1 tbsp garlic paste or 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 2 tsp Red pepper chili flakes
- 1 Butter leaf lettuce
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 cup Scallions chopped
- 1/2 package vermicelli rice noodles optional
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Sweet chili sauce optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger paste, garlic paste, hoisin sauce and red pepper chili flakes. Set aside.
- Heat a pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Add the ground chicken and break up into pieces. Let cook for 5 minutes, stirring and breaking up occasionally.
- In another pan heat 1 inch deep of vegetable oil over medium high heat. Once hot, fry the amount of rice sticks or noodles that you want to use for the wraps. It should fry in about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- The chicken should be done by now, add in the sauce and turn up the heat to medium high, stir until all the chicken is covered. Add in the scallions and stir. This should be about 2 minutes total.
- Assemble the wraps. I like to put the chicken first, and then some rice sticks. I serve it with sweet chili on the side as well.
- Eat and enjoy!
