Number Of Ingredients 16

8 oz skinless (boneless chicken thighs, ground)
1/4 cup water chestnuts (chopped fine)
1/4 cup dried shiitake mushrooms
1 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp oyster sauce
1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 tsp sugar
freshly ground white pepper (to taste)
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
6 iceberg lettuce leaves (rinsed (careful not to break))
2 tbsp diced scallions
4 tbsp hoisin sauce
1/2 tsp chili sauce (I used Sriracha)
1 tbsp warm water

Steps:

  • Place mushrooms in hot water to soften a few minutes. Remove stems and chop fine.
  • Combine soy sauces, oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, rice wine, sugar, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Combine ground chicken (I put the chicken in the food processor), softened mushrooms and water chestnuts into a bowl. Pour over chicken; toss. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Mix Spicy Hoisin Dipping Sauce ingredients in another bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat remaining sesame oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic; cook until golden, about 10 seconds. Add chicken mixture; stir fry until browned, breaking the chicken up as it cooks, about 4-5 minutes.
  • To serve, spoon 1/4 cup of the chicken into each lettuce leaf. Garnish with scallions and a spoon a little Spicy Hoisin Dipping Sauce onto each one.
