Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Sweet Soy Ginger Glaze

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, minced ginger, and honey. Pour this mixture over the cooked chicken and stir until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wontons

    In the same skillet, add more oil if necessary and fry the wonton wrappers until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Spicy Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until well combined. Adjust spice level to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Wraps

    Place a spoonful of the sweet soy ginger chicken mixture into a romaine lettuce leaf. Top with chopped peanuts, crispy wontons, and cilantro. Drizzle with spicy aioli before serving.
