Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 0.33 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 1 Carrot, grated
- 12 Butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary. Add minced garlic and ginger to the chicken and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the hoisin sauce mixture, chopped water chestnuts, grated carrot, and thinly sliced green onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and the ingredients are well combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove it from heat.
To assemble, spoon the hoisin chicken mixture into the center of each butter lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
