Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and optional sriracha. Stir in cornstarch dissolved in water to form a slurry and set aside.

2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks.

3. Drain excess liquid if needed. Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

5. Stir in water chestnuts and green onions. Cook another minute to combine.

6. Spoon the warm filling into lettuce leaves. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.

7. Serve immediately and enjoy while warm.

Notes

For best crunch, chill lettuce leaves before serving.

You can prep the chicken filling up to 2 days ahead—just reheat gently before serving.

Swap ground chicken with turkey or tofu for a variation that suits your taste or dietary needs.
