Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- For the Sauce
- 3 tablespoons - Thai sweet chili sauce
- 3 tablespoons - hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons - light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons - Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons - vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons - sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons - unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons - minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
- 1 tablespoons - minced fresh ginger
- For the Filling & Serving
- 1 pounds - ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons - vegetable oil
- 8 - scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens kept separate
- 1 tablespoons - minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
- 1 tablespoons - minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 pounds - white mushrooms, trimmed, cleaned and finely chopped
- 1/2 cups - finely diced canned water chestnuts
- 1 - small red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 heads - butter lettuce, leaves separated, for serving
Directions:
Make the Sauce:
In a bowl, combine the chili sauce, hoisin, soy sauce, Sriracha, vegetable oil, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic and ginger.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the sauce into the ground chicken.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When shimmering-hot, add the chicken and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the scallion whites, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their liquid, 3 to 4 minutes.
Return the chicken to the pan, then add the water chestnuts, bell pepper, and the rest of the sauce and cook, stirring, until cooked through and the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the scallion greens.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set out with the lettuce leaves.
