Chicken Lettuce Wraps Ingredients
- Chicken: I used ground chicken as it’s light and healthy, and had a neutral flavor. Ground turkey or pork would also work well!
- Garlic and Ginger: These two key herbs pack so much flavor into this copycat PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps recipe! Garlic adds aroma while ginger adds aroma plus a slight kick of heat!
- Sesame Oil: I love adding sesame oil to Asian dishes! It has so much nutty flavor and tastes amazing! Remember a little of this stuff goes a long way!
- Hoisin Sauce: Is a thick savory sauce that can be found in the international or Asian section of your grocery store. If you don’t have any hoisin sauce you can make your own at home.
- Rice Wine Vinegar: Can be found in the International or Asian section in the grocery store. I don’t like to substitute other vinegars in place of this one. I find that rice wine vinegar works the best. However, it sometimes contains grains other than rice so if you are gluten-free you can substitute apple cider vinegar.
- Sriracha: Is used for a little kick. You can omit if you don’t care for too much spice. I typically double the amount or add to taste.
- Lettuce: I prefer Bibb lettuce as it holds together well and is easy to pick up. See below for some more lettuce suggestions!
