Lettuce Wraps


Warning: this recipe contains an odd ingredient. If you don't love lettuce wraps enough to overcome that, then just skip it.

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
8 mushrooms, cut into small pieces
1 cup (2 cans?) of water chestnuts, cut into small pieces
3 small cloves of garlic, diced
1-2 bunches of green onions, finely chopped
1 small handful of cilantro, finely chopped
1/3 cup of hoisin sauce (found in asian market or aisle)
2-3 tbsp soy sauce
(2 Tbsp?) canola or veg oil

1 head of iceberg lettuce, cut in half

Cook the chicken in oil until almost done, then drop in the garlic for about a minute. Add the mushrooms and water chestnuts. Cook for another minute or so, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce, mix to coat; add green onions and cilantro. Cook for another minute or so.
Serve with lettuce.

Skip the recipe all together, or just skip the ingredient?

You meant lettuce, right?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure lettuce is the odd ingredient. It's the only one that doesn't make things sound yummier when I look at the other ingredients.

i love lettuce wraps more than i love... well... carbs. ok, maybe not quite. but if you douse that comment in a healthy bit of beth exaggeration sauce, you'd have it about right. yum! rachel, can i make those for our sat night or sun night dinner in santa barbara?
