CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS



Chef John's Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

When I visit my mom we usually make it to P.F. Chang's® at least once and always start the meal with their very popular chicken lettuce wraps. They do a good job with most of the dishes I've had, but the wraps are clearly my favorite. I don't do a lot of copycat recipes; these chicken lettuce wraps, however, are a delicious exception.

CHINESE CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS



Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

I came up with this recipe trying to replicate lettuce wraps offered at Joey Tomato's. So far, I've determined, there are a number of elements that make the perfect lettuce wrap. A balance between savory taste and crunch - which is given by the combination of soy, hoisin and chiles accented by the addition of crispy noodle. I am sure this recipe will continue to evolve as I experiment with other flavors.

Provided by Delicia T

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 head iceberg lettuce
130 g egg noodles, Chinese style (or chow mein noodles)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 chicken breasts, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 yellow pepper, finely chopped
1/4 red pepper, finely chopped
250 g sliced water chestnuts, slivered
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, slivered, matchstick (or crimini)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
5 tablespoons hoisin sauce, use more if desired
1 tablespoon chili sauce, adjust to taste
2 scallions, slivered
1 teaspoon coriander or 1 teaspoon cilantro
1/4 cup peanuts, kettle cooked is best (crushed or whole)

Steps:

  • Unwrap lettuce into "cups" and wash thoroughly.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok, on medium high heat, and after a minute, add noodles. You will want to separate them with your fingers as you add so that the noodles are not clumpy. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the level of crispiness desired.
  • Prepare (chop) your chicken and vegetables as you wait.
  • Once the noodles are done, remove and set aside.
  • If desired, pour 1 tsp of oil in the same wok before you saute the garlic. Do this for about 30 seconds. Garlic can burn quickly so do not leave it too long.
  • Add chicken, stir fry until no longer pink.
  • Add onion, peppers, chestnuts, and mushrooms. Fry for about a minute.
  • While waiting for the vegetables to saute, combine soy sauce and sugar. Mix with a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the soy sauce mixture to the pan. Fry for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the hoisin sauce and chili paste.
  • Add the scallions, coriander and peanuts.
  • Serve over the noodles that were set aside. To assemble, spoon chicken and noodle mixture into lettuce cup. Wrap and enjoy :).
  • If desired, shrimp can be substituted for chicken. Note on hoisin sauce: because hoisin is a prominent flavour in this recipe, different types of sauces may alter the taste. Try to find a simple hoisin sauce by looking at the ingredients. I tend to stay away from additional vinegars or spices, but ultimately the choice is up to you.

P. F. CHANG'S CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS



P. F. Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

You can skip the restaurant version and make your own in 20 minutes and I promise you this homemade version tastes better. They're super easy and healthier with so many layers of flavor from the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce (reduce if you're sensitive to heat), rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and green onions. I found all the ingredients in the Asian section of my regular grocery store. I've made the recipe using both ground chicken and ground turkey and both were excellent.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serves, 4 serving(s)

2 -3 green onions, sliced into thin rounds
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
8 butter lettuce leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • To a large skillet, add the oils, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat until chicken is cooked through; stir intermittently to crumbly while cooking.
  • Add the onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chili garlic sauce, stir to combine, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until onion is soft and translucent and most of the liquid has been absorbed; stir intermittently.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, stir to combine, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Add the water chestnuts, green onions, salt and pepper to taste, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until tender. Taste filling and make any necessary flavor adjustments, i.e. more soy sauce, hoisin, pepper, etc.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the lettuce leaves to serve. Recipe is best warm and fresh but filling will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM BULGOGI LETTUCE WRAPS



Chicken and Mushroom Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps image

The savory Korean bulgogi marinade in this recipe is made with pantry items and livens up just about anything you put it on. Here, the soy-scallion-ginger marinade is used on boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but it can also be brushed on tofu, zucchini or bell peppers for a satisfying vegetarian meal. As the meat cooks, the marinade caramelizes into a sweet-salty sticky glaze that coats the chicken. Serving the grilled chicken and vegetables in lettuce cups is a fun way to enjoy the meal. Korean condiments like kimchi and gochujang are traditional bulgogi accompaniments, but shredded cabbage, salsa or even guacamole would also work. Leftovers can be refrigerated overnight, then chopped and tossed with salad greens.

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Add scallions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (a little color is okay), about 3 minutes. Add chicken and lightly season with salt. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon and tossing occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Add reserved soy sauce mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until liquid is almost completely reduced, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve chicken mixture with lettuce, herbs, lime wedges, and more sambal oelek for making lettuce wraps.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS



Slow Cooker Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

My kids love this meal! The diced ingredients get rid of the textural issue they normally have with vegetables, while still being packed with flavor and nutrition! This recipe is very forgiving; I've made the chicken on the side for vegetarians, substituted cashews for peanuts, and used more or less of an ingredient depending on what I have in the fridge.
