Chicken Lettuce Wraps

For a long time now I've been a huge fan of the lettuce wraps from a Chinese restaurant I used to go to with my family. Today I decided to give it a shot and try it out for myself.

To begin you want to make the sauce for dipping first. So it has time to chill in the fridge before serving. Add 1/4 cup of sugar to a bowl...

Then pour in 1/2 cup of warm water. Whisk it together until the sugar disolves.

Now comes all the flavor! 2 tablespoons of soy sauce...

2 tablespoons of rice vinegar...

2 tablespoons of ketchup...

About 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

And finally 1/8 teaspoon of sesame oil. Whisk it all together, cover and set in the fridge

Now for the stir fry sauce... Begin by adding 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to a bowl 

Along with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce

And 1/2 teaspoon of rice vinegar. Whisk together and set aside

Now for the filling! Finely chop up about 3-4 mushrooms...

Finely dice 1/2 a yellow onion...

Along with 1 8oz can of water chestnuts

And 3 cloves of garlic...

Stir it all together and set aside. 

Now the fun begins! Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large wok

Along with 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Then turn the wok onto high and wait one minute

Once the oil is ready, throw in 2 chopped chicken breasts and stir around in the wok for about 5 minutes.

Now splash in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Followed by your chopped veggies...

And your stir fry sauce. Stir around for about four minutes. Serve hot! Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion. Serve with your sauce and sriracha sauce if desired.
