Ingredients of Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
1 lb (450g) ground chicken
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
8-10 large lettuce leaves (such as Bibb or Romaine)
Instructions for making Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps:
Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the Vegetables and Sauces: Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly tender. Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once the chicken is fully cooked and browned, stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and chili flakes (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Finish with Fresh Herbs: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and mint. This adds a fresh and aromatic finish to the dish.
Assemble the Wraps: To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts for added crunch.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the wraps with extra lime wedges and enjoy them as a light and flavorful meal. These wraps are perfect for a healthy lunch or as a fun appetizer for gatherings.
