I have spent a lot of time trying to recreate PF Changs lettuce wraps, one of my all time favourite dishes! I’ve come across a lot of different variants in recipes and I’ve combined these to create my own. This is a great healthy dinner with no carbs! Although the next night we had no lettuce and we had the leftovers with rice and it was still delicious.
I have only ever found ground chicken breast in Waitrose in the UK so I use my mincer and four chicken breasts. If you don’t have this you can substitute 500g of turkey mince.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil, or use Frylight as an alternative to oil
- 4 chicken breasts ground into mince (or 500g turkey mince)
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup hoisin cauce
- 2 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce (plus extra if you fancy on top)
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Sriracha
- 1 can of water chestnuts, thinly sliced
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- salt
- Iceberg or gem lettuce
Method
- Heat a wok with the oil over a medium heat and cook your ground chicken. Cook until this is browned, keep breaking the chicken up as it cooks so it’s in small pieces.
- Add in the garlic, hoisin sauce, onion, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger and Sriracha until your onions are cooked (about 1-2 minutes). Then add the chestnuts and green onions, cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully peel your lettuce to form little tacos and spoon your chicken mixture over this.
