Method
Preparation
Prep the Vegetables
Chop the green onions, red bell pepper, and carrot into small, uniform pieces. Set aside.
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir until well combined.
Prepare the Lettuce Wraps
Carefully separate the lettuce leaves and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Cooking
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Add Vegetables
Add the chopped green onions, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Incorporate the Sauce
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Assembly
Assemble the Wraps
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro.
Serve
Serve immediately while warm, allowing everyone to wrap their own lettuce leaves.
