These are so yummy! They taste really close to the lettuce wraps that you can order from that famous Asian restaurant chain. The number of servings will depend on if this is an appetizer or main course for you and how big you make them. If an appetizer, then maybe 6 servings; if a main dish, then 4 servings.

This can be served hot or cold. I enjoy it hot. I also use chopped chicken as I like the texture better. If you do use ground chicken, be sure to brown it for a more pleasing color and flavor.

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce (mae ploy sauce or sweet hot chili sauce)
1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup pine nuts (toasted)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your lettuce wraps will taste. Look for crisp lettuce, tender chicken, and flavorful herbs.

  • Use a variety of textures and flavors: The combination of crispy lettuce, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables and herbs creates a delicious and satisfying wrap.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your taste. For example, you could add some crumbled tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option, or some chopped peanuts or cashews for a crunchy texture.

Conclusion:

These Asian chicken lettuce wraps are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a little planning and preparation, you can have these lettuce wraps on the table in no time.
