Lettuce Wraps

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup finely diced white onion
1/4 cup finely diced carrot
1/4 cup finely diced red pepper
1/4 cup finely diced green pepper
1/4 cup finely diced water chestnuts
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/2 cup chopped boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of granulated sugar
4 large, crisp Boston or iceberg lettuce leaves

Garnish

1/3 cup hoisin sauce
chow mein or fried salad noodles (optional)

Heat the oil in a wok or heavy skillet set over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the garlic until fragrant but not browned. Add the onion, carrot, red and green peppers, water chestnuts, chicken, pepper, salt and sugar to the wok and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through. Transfer the chicken mixture to a serving bowl.

To serve, spoon 1/4 of the chicken mixture into the centre of each lettuce leaf, top with a little hoisin sauce and garnish with chown mein noodles, if using. Fold the lettuce around the mixture and enjoy. Makes 4 wraps.

Tip: This recipe doubles easily.

...or go to Costco and buy the exact same thing in 2 packs. All you need to do is boil the packs of chicken.

There is a Chinese restaurant that I take my ducks and geese to when I want a good meal. One of the appetizers they make are lettuce duck wraps, and they are GREAT!
Depending on what I take them they also make hot garlic duck legs, duck fillet (half breasts) in a brandy mushroom sauce, lemon pheasant, and Mongolian goose.
BUT I love those duck lettuce wraps!
Thanks for the recipe!
