Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 100 grams Water chestnuts, chopped
- 12 leaves Butter or Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tortillas (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, then pour the marinade over it. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and set aside for 10 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the green onions, julienned carrots, red bell peppers, and chopped water chestnuts. Cook for 2–3 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for easier handling.
To assemble, place a spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the center of a lettuce leaf or tortilla. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Roll the lettuce leaves or fold the tortillas into wraps. Serve immediately as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.
