Provided by Ruth Cousineau

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 scallions, chopped (1/4 cup)
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 lb total), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (8-oz) can sliced water chestnuts, rinsed and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup bottled hoisin sauce (preferably Lee Kum Kee, House of Tsang, or Koon Chun brand)
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1/2 cup pine nuts (2 1/2 oz)
12 large red- or green-leaf lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or a 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until just smoking, then add oil. Add ginger, salt, and 2 tablespoons scallions and stir-fry until ginger is fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add water chestnuts, hoisin sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and pine nuts and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons scallions.
  • Have guests serve themselves by spooning chicken mixture into lettuce leaves and wrapping leaves around filling to enclose.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I would marinate it in the hoisin sauce for longer next time.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less hoisin sauce or adding some other ingredients to balance out the sweetness.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover grilled chicken and it was delicious. The hoisin sauce is so flavorful and it really elevates the chicken.
