Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground white chicken breast
3 green onions, trimmed and minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt (I omit because the soy sauce has plenty of salt)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil (I use much less or you can use a non-stick pan and cooking spray)
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fresh
1 head iceberg lettuce (I prefer Butter lettuce)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken and minced green onions. Add the kosher salt and pepper, and mix together well. Form into a large patty. Mix together the rice wine vinegar, wine, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce in a bowl or measuring cup and set aside.
  • Heat a wok over high heat, or an electric wok to 400 degrees. Add the oil and when smoking, carefully set the ground chicken patty in the wok. Brown on one side, then carefully break up and add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Continue to stir until the chicken is thoroughly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the rice wine vinegar mixture and cook, stiring, until the liquid has just about evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Stir in the cilantro or if desired, mint.
  • Cut away the base of the lettuce and remove the outer leaves. Use the smaller inner leaves for cups. Place 2 or 3 cups on each plate, or line a platter, top with salad and serve.

This recipe is definitely not for beginners. It's very complicated and time-consuming.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it was a complete disaster. The chicken was raw and the sauce was burnt.

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was very flavorful. I think I'll try cooking the chicken in a different way next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chili sauce.

This dish was an absolute hit with my family! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the garlic sauce was incredibly flavorful. We loved the freshness of the lettuce leaves and how they complemented the rest of the dish. Will definitely be making this
