Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 large head or 2 small heads butter lettuce leaves
  • ½ cup chopped water chestnuts (canned, rinsed and drained)
  • 3–4 stalks green onions (scallions), sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chicken broth (60 ml)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Carefully separate the leaves from the butter lettuce head, rinse gently under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside in the fridge to keep crisp while you make the filling.
  2. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula, cooking until no longer pink and starting to brown, about 6-8 minutes. Stir frequently for even cooking.
  5. Mix in the chopped water chestnuts and sliced green onions. Cook for 2 more minutes to warm through and combine flavors.
  6. Slowly add the prepared sauce mixture to the skillet. Stir well to coat all ingredients. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the filling is juicy but not soupy. Taste and adjust seasoning—add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like heat.
  7. Remove skillet from heat. Spoon the warm filling into each butter lettuce leaf, folding gently. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

Keep lettuce leaves chilled until serving to maximize crunch. Avoid overcooking the filling after adding the sauce to keep it moist but not watery. Fresh grated ginger is preferred for best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and use gluten-free hoisin sauce. Ground turkey or tofu can be used as alternatives to chicken.
