1head of romaine lettuce, leaves washed and broken or sliced in half horizontally (see note)
For the Sauce
1/4cuphoisin sauce
1 tbsplow-sodium soy sauce
1tbspregular soy sauce
1tbsprice vinegar
1/2tbspsesame oil
2tsplightly packed fresh grated ginger
3garlic cloves, minced
1shallot, diced
Instructions
In a small bowl, add all sauce ingredients and whisk together.
In a large skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil and bring to medium-high heat. Add in ground chicken and cook and stir until crumbled and browned. Add in water chestnuts and mushrooms.
Reduce heat to medium. Pour in sauce and stir into ingredients until ingredients are evenly coated in sauce. Cover skillet with a lid to cook a few minutes and allow ingredients to absorb the sauce. Remove lid, taste and make any adjustments as needed. If you prefer a little sweeter, you can add a little bit of sugar. If you prefer saltier, you can add a little more soy sauce. When finished, remove from heat.
Lay out lettuce leaves onto a plate. Spoon on filling. Garnish with scallions. Serve while filling is still warm.
Notes
You want to slice the lettuce leaves so they are not too long. Also, some of the inner leaves may not work well for the wraps, so save those for salads. You can also substitute iceberg lettuce or butter lettuce.
