Instructions
Creating these Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.
2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger; sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Mix Sauces: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar. Pour this mixture over the chicken, stirring to coat everything evenly.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in shredded carrot, diced bell pepper, and half of the green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Prepare Lettuce Leaves: While the chicken is cooking, separate lettuce leaves. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry.
6. Assemble Wraps: Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with remaining green onions and fresh herbs.
7. Serve Immediately: Arrange the filled lettuce wraps on a platter for serving.
