Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Here is a fabulous knockoff of the PF Chang's Soothing Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I don't like mushrooms but in this recipe you cannot taste that they are there. Especially if you dice them fine enough.



Serves 4 for appetizer and 2 for meal

Stir Fry
2 uncooked chicken breasts diced into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup water chestnuts, diced
2/3 cup mushrooms, diced
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (do not use light brown)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (do not use low sodium)
1 teaspoon rice vinegar (available in the asian food isle)

Serve with
1 1/2 cups crushed fried maifun rice sticks, per the package directions - I use Dynasty (orange package) which can be found in asian food isle.
6 iceberg lettuce cups - cut head in half and carefully remove layers to make cups, be careful not to tear them

Prepare sauce and set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium high in wok or frying pan. Cook chicken until no pink remains. Add vegetables and sauce. Sir fry for 5 minutes. Put 1/4 cup fried rice sticks on lettuce cup. Spoon stir fry mixture on top. Enjoy!!!


This is what the noodles look like as you fry them. You do not need the whole package. This process is fun :)
