Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound ground chicken Can be substituted with ground turkey or crumbled tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • 1 tablespoon oil (sesame or vegetable) Your choice of oil.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced Any color will do, but red looks extra pretty.
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 head of lettuce Romaine or Butter lettuce works best.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season according to preference.
  • to taste Thai chili sauce For drizzling on top.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about a minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the ground chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it up.
  3. Stir in the diced bell peppers, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar. Let it cook together for a few more minutes until the veggies are tender but still have a nice crunch. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Carefully separate the leaves of lettuce from the head. Spoon the delicious chicken mixture into the lettuce cups.
  5. Finish it off with a drizzle of Thai chili sauce.

Notes

If desired, add chopped peanuts or shredded carrots for extra crunch. Store leftover chicken mixture in an airtight container, but keep lettuce leaves separate to maintain crispness. Prepare the chicken mixture ahead of time for convenience.
