  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1–2 teaspoons chili paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon 5-spice (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, cut small
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into small chunks
  • 1 cup water chestnuts, chopped small
  • 1 rib celery, diced
  • 1 head butter lettuce or large romaine lettuce

Instructions

  1. Whisk together hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, chili paste, white pepper, 5-spice, and cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. In a large sauté pan or wok, heat oil and sauté onion, ginger, and garlic over medium heat for 3 minutes until fragrant. Add ground meat and salt, breaking it apart as it cooks, and sauté until cooked through and no longer pink.
  3. Stir in shiitake mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add peppers, water chestnuts, celery, and the prepared sauce. Bring it to a bubble for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  4. Transfer mixture to a dish and let it cool slightly while you prepare lettuce cups and garnishes.
  5. Clean and separate lettuce leaves, doubling them up for sturdiness. Fill each leaf with a scoop of the filling and top with green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
