Asian Lettuce Wraps

I've been wanting to make lettuce wraps for a long time and I finally got around to it and they did not disappoint! These were so good and we ate them up! This is definitely a recipe I will repeat often.

What you need:

1 lb ground chicken

1 Tbs sesame seed oil

2 garlic cloves- minced

1 small can water chestnuts- chopped

6 basil leaves

2 Tbs hoisin sauce

2 Tbs teriyaki sauce

2 Tbs soy sauce

1 tsp rice vinegar

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cornstarch

1 head of bib or butter lettuce

2 green onions- chopped

Chow mien noodles

- In a large skillet heat up the the sesame oil and add the chicken. Cook until done, making sure it's crumbly. Add the garlic. Then add the chestnuts and cook on low for a few minutes. Add the basil leaves.

- In a mixing bowl, combine the hoisin, teriyaki, soy sauce, rice vinager, ginger and cornstarch. Whisk until well combined. 

- Pour sauce over chicken and heat on medium high for 2 minutes. Remove basil leaves and add green onions.

- Spoon into lettuce and top with chow mien noodles for some crunch. You can dip into soy sauce if desired. 

Enjoy!
