General

Method

Preparation

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken with soy sauce, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the marinated chicken. Stir and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.

3

Add Vegetables

Add diced shiitake mushrooms, grated carrot, and chopped onion to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender.

4

Prepare Lettuce Wraps

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in chopped basil. Spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves and top with chopped peanuts.

5

Serve

Serve the lettuce wraps warm with extra Korean-style hot rock BBQ sauce on the side.
