- Hoisin sauce – You’ll be mixing 3 tablespoons with your chicken to get that savory and sweet deliciousness.
- Soy sauce – 2 tablespoons of this will elevate your sauce. Low sodium for ultimate results, salt can be added to liking.
- Rice wine vinegar – For a kick of acidity, add 2 tablespoons.
- Sriracha – You can also use some chili paste. 1 tablespoon of sriracha gives it that spice and flavor.
- Sesame oil – For light nuttiness, add 1 tablespoon.
- Olive oil – 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil is used to cook the onions.
- Onion – 1 chopped onion, preferably yellow, to make your chicken mx even tastier.
- Garlic – Add 2 chopped cloves of garlic to your ground chicken.
- Ginger – Grate your ginger at home for better results, and use 1 tablespoon.
- Ground chicken – Ground turkey can be used instead for the filling to your lettuce wrap. You will need 1 pound of either.
- Water chestnuts – The crunch takes your filling to a new level, just drain ½ cup of your canned chestnuts and chop them.
- Green onions – Cut 2 green onions into thin pieces to use with your filling, and add other onions for decoration.
- Salt and pepper – Use to your liking, As the hoisin and soy sauce are already salty, you might not need much salt.
- Lettuce with big leaves – 1 head of bibb, butter, or Boston lettuce, separate your leaves and rinse them. The more flexible your lettuce is, the easier it’ll be to wrap.
