Healthy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
If you love Chinese food, I am sure you have tried P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps. They are an appetizer of ground chicken wrapped up in fresh lettuce leaves and served with a savory and delicious dipping sauce. Making them at home is super easy, and they make for a great appetizer for a healthy weeknight dinner.
What Do You Use To Make Lettuce Wraps
There are three main ingredients: chicken, fresh lettuce leaves and hoisin sauce. You will need ground chicken, and either iceberg lettuce or butter lettuce.
How Do You Cut The Lettuce
Get a head of iceberg lettuce or butter lettuce. Cut off the bottom stem. Separate each leaf for wrapping. If the leaves are too big, cut it into halves. On the other hand, if you use butter lettuce, usually the leaves are smaller so you don’t have to cut them.
The Best Lettuce Wraps Sauce
For the wraps sauce, I love a spicy and savory sauce, so I use Chinese Hoisin sauce and mix it with Sriracha. The sauce should be a bit watery, so mix and dilute the sauce with some warm water. Wrap the lettuce around the ground chicken and spoon the sauce over it.
How To Make Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Marinate the ground chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and scallions. Mix the dipping sauces. Cook the ground chicken mixture in a wok until fully cooked, about 2 minutes. To assemble, carefully peel off the lettuce leaves from the iceberg lettuce head. Be careful not to break the leaves. To serve, just add the chicken on a lettuce leaf, spoon the sauce over and enjoy!
