The Ingredients

The Prep

I like to get all of my chopping out of the way first thing, so when I'm cooking, all that I need to do is grab my prep bow.

  • If you didn't start with ground chicken, use a KitchenAid attachment to grind the chicken

  • Mince or use a garlic press to crush the cloves of garlic

  • Mince the pickled ginger

  • Drain the water chestnuts and finely chop

  • Chop the green onions, or use herb scissors 

  • Rinse the Lettuce leaves and set them aside

The How-To

  1. Heat a large pan over medium0high heat, test the heat of the oil by dropping in one piece of chicken, if it sizzles, the pan is hot enough & you can add in your chicken. Cook the chicken thuroughly and until browned.

  2. Add in the onion and decrease slightly, cook until slightly tender.

  3. Stir in hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and chile pepper.

  4. Once stirred in, add water chestnuts, sesame oil, and simmer for just over two minutes.

  5. Servce over rice and on the lettuce leaves for best results.
