Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 12 pieces butter lettuce leaves
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 1 can (8 oz) water chestnuts, diced
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sriracha (optional)
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp crushed peanuts (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the butter lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a clean towel. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the finely diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the shredded carrot and diced water chestnuts. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir well to coat the ingredients evenly.
