Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb chicken
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
3 tablespoons soybean oil or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 heads romaine lettuce, cleaned
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 ounce scallion, sliced thin
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Dice the chicken into tiny pieces. Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons soybean oil, ginger, garlic, chili flakes and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix together in circular motion until well mixed.
  • Let marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
  • Mix together the citrus juices, soy, and hoisin sauce with a whisk. Reserve until needed.
  • Clean the romaine lettuce, chopping off the stem, peeling each 'spear' and running under clean cold water. Reserve in refrigerator until ready to use. Chop scallions into rings and reserve chilled.
  • Coat a very hot sauté pan lightly with soybean or vegetable oil.
  • Lay the chicken around the sauté pan being careful not to lay too many on top of each other. Sear the chicken until crispy and golden brown, about 2 ½ minutes. Once chicken is brown, toss gently in pan and sear another 2 ½ minutes. The pan will appear to "burn", but that is the carmelization and where all the flavor comes from.
  • Add ½ of the citrus soy mixture to the sauté pan and coat well. Let the sauce coat the chicken until it is glazed, and thickens on the chicken. Add more or less depending on how "wet" you want your mixture. Spoon chicken onto a plate.
  • Wrap the chicken mixture in romaine lettuce and top with scallion rings. Serve and enjoy!
  • *Fun fact: this recipe can also be done with baby shrimps, fish or beef.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The lettuce wraps are light and refreshing, and the sauce is packed with flavor. I especially love the addition of the water chestnuts and peanuts. I'll definitely be makin

I've tried this recipe a few times now and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The lettuce wraps are so flavorful and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I love that you can customize the wraps with your favorite fillings.
