2 oz
dried angel hair rice noodles

Chicken Lettuce Wraps
2 tablespoons
sesame oil
1 lb
1/2
sweet yellow onion, chopped small
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/3 cup
hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons
liquid aminos
1 tablespoon
rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon
chili garlic sauce
3
garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon
ground ginger powder
8 oz
water chestnuts, drained & diced
2 oz
chives, sliced
1/4 cup
peanuts
black sesame seeds, for garnish
butter, green leaf or iceberg lettuce leaves, for serving
cilantro, if desired
- Sauté the ground chicken in a large frying pan with the sesame oil, sweet onion, and salt.
- Once browned, add the hoisin, liquid aminos, rice wine vinegar, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and ginger.
- Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for 3 - 4 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Fold in the water chestnuts, chives, and turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle with peanuts and sesame seeds right before serving. Serve with lettuce leaves, cilantro, and crispy noodles on the side.
Notes on this recipe:
- This recipe will usually feed my husband and I for dinner as our main course with a side dish. However, if you’re serving the lettuce leaves as an appetizer it can serve up to 6 people, about 2 lettuce wraps each.
- If you happen to have leftovers, same as meal prep note above: store the chicken in an airtight container, refrigerated, and consume within 2 – 3 days.
- Not a cilantro fan? No problem. It’s one of my favorite herbs so I always add a few leaves on top. However, this recipe will still be super delicious without it.
