Ingredients

• 500 g chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 stalks green onions
• 100 g water chestnuts
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 12 large lettuce leaves
• 50 g peanuts
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

First, finely mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Slice the green onions thinly and set aside the green tops for garnish.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper and water chestnuts into small cubes. Grate the carrot using a medium grater.

Step 3

Chop the chicken breast into small pieces or mince it in a food processor for a finer texture.

Step 4

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped chicken to the skillet, stirring frequently until fully cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and mix in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and oyster sauce until the chicken is coated evenly.

Step 7

Stir in the diced water chestnuts, red bell pepper, and grated carrot. Cook for 3 more minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Mix in the sliced green onions (reserving the green tops) and cook for an additional minute.

Step 9

Prepare the lettuce leaves by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry. Arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 10

Spoon portions of the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf.

Step 11

Garnish with the reserved green onion tops, chopped peanuts, and fresh cilantro.

Step 12

Serve immediately, folding the lettuce leaves around the filling to eat.
