Chicken Lettuce Wrap Recipe

Hi everyone. Welcome to Cook Stacey Cook. Today we are making chicken lettuce wrap. This is a popular dish in many restaurants. It is very easy to make this dish at home. In today's video, I will show you step by step how to create this dish in your own kitchen. Let's get started. We will start by preparing the lettuce. You can use either iceberg lettuce or romaine lettuce for this dish. Thoroughly rinse the lettuce and let them drain. While we wait for the lettuce to drain, we will prepare the other ingredients. Dice half of an onion by slicing the onion like this first. Then cut across the slice like this. Next, we will finely mince a little bit of ginger and finely mince 4 cloves of garlic. We will also chop 2 green onions into small pieces. Next, mix some cornstarch with some cold water to make a cornstarch and water mixture. We will use it to make a sauce for this dish later. The last ingredient we need is some ground chicken and we are ready to cook. Add some oil to a pan over medium-high heat. Then add the diced onion. We will stir-fry the diced onion for about 1 minute. When the onion starts to turn a little brown on the edges, we can add the garlic and the ginger. Stir-fry the garlic and the ginger briefly and we can add the ground chicken. As we stir-fry the ground chicken, we can gradually break them apart. Keep stir-frying and breaking the chicken apart until they are 50% cooked. Then add a touch of rice wine. When the chicken is about 80% cooked, add a little bit of sugar. Stir-fry briefly to mix the sugar evenly. Then add some regular soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Continue to stir-fry until the color of the chicken looks even. Then add some hoisin sauce. Now stir-fry a little bit more to mix the hoisin sauce evenly. Then add a little bit of white pepper powder and the chopped green onion. Mix evenly and we can remove the chicken from the pan. The last step is to make the sauce for this dish. Turn the heat to low and add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and dark soy sauce to the pan. Stir them in the pan for about 10 seconds. Then add the cornstarch and water mixture. Make sure you stir up the mixture before adding it to the pan. Stir the sauce a little bit to mix it evenly. Then turn the heat back up to medium and bring the sauce to a boil. Stir the sauce as it heats up. When the sauce boils, it should have a thicker consistency like this. Now add a touch of white pepper powder. Mix it into the sauce and we are done. Pour the sauce out of the pan and you are ready to serve. Put some chicken on the lettuce, add a little bit of sauce on it, and you can enjoy this delicious chicken lettuce wrap. I hope you like our video today.
