Directions
Cubed Chicken in Lettuce Leaves ( Yang Chow Chicken Soong), This recipe is similar to the lettuce wraps that are so popular in Asian restauants. It was in the R.S.V.P. section of a June 1982 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. It was requested from the Shun Lee Palace in New York City. Preparation time will be reduced if all chopping is done in a food processor. Once the prep is done the lettuce wraps come quickly together!, Delicious!.. but this wont feed six with one breast, used 4. I also didnt use a food processor. Just take your time and do a fine chop on the veggies, ginger, garlic, etc. I recommend using Boston Bibb lettuce as it makes a nicer cup. Keep the lettuce leaves in cold water to keep them crisp. This came out just great each time I make this. You can also add some nuts ie cashews or pecans to the veggies as they cook. Just a last comment. Whoever figured out the nutritional values needs to rethink the calculations. The amount of fat ( 74.8 grams per serving ) INCLUDES the 2 cups of peanut oil you cook the chicken in.., Wonderful! The flavors came out so good. Prep time is lengthy, but was worth it. I will add a bit more soy sauce and a little hot sauce next time. Great!
