Directions
Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps, I came up with this recipe trying to replicate lettuce wraps offered at Joey Tomato’s. So far, I’ve determined, there are a number of elements that make the perfect lettuce wrap. A balance between savory taste and crunch – which is given by the combination of soy, hoisin and chiles accented by the addition of crispy noodle. I am sure this recipe will continue to evolve as I experiment with other flavors., Wonderful! I cut the recipe down for DH and I and used ground chicken but other than that I followed the directions. Oh so yummy! Next time I might use butter lettuce because it is easier to separate and roll but there definately will be a next time. Made for Spring Pick a Chef 2011., I omitted the noodles and the peppers and added shredded carrots, shredded ginger and bean sprouts. Also had raw shredded cabagge that folks could add for crunch since I skipped the noodles. Made recipe first as vegetarian, took a portion out for a friend and then added browned crumbled turkey to the rest. Big hit at football party and much appreciated as lighter fare post holidays!
