Lettuce Wraps-PF Chang style

I love those recipes that are so good, they are asked for again and again! Dee Jay just reminded me that we haven't had lettuce wraps in awhile, so I started on this extremely delicious dinner for us last night! A happy side note is that even though you are "wrapping lettuce" around a mixture of goodness after about four of them Dee Jay decided he was full and that they make a heavier meal than one would imagine! So ladies, get your guys to try them out. I'm going to go out on a limb that they will not be disappointed (or left hungry)! I found this recipe on this cute blog, Bohemian Transplant! If you have some time to look around her blog at all her recipes, you won't be disappointed! She also has great insights for parents, and photography as well! So let's get started with what all you're going to need for this recipe!

Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 onion, minced
salt & pepper (to taste)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, minced
1 TB sesame oil
2 1/2 TB soy sauce
1/2 TB water
1 TB peanut butter
1/2 TB honey
1 TB + 1 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp (+) Chili garlic sauce (you can add sriracha if you want to add a kick)
3 green onions
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped

First, you're going to add the chicken and onion with a dash of salt and pepper and cook in a skillet until nearly done! Next, add the garlic and ginger and continue to cook until the chicken is no longer pink.

Here we are simmering with garlic

and ginger and onion

 

In a small sauce pan, heat the sesame oil, soy sauce, water, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, red chili sauce, and another dash of pepper. Stir until the sauce runs smooth and then add the sauce to the skillet and stir to combine everything.

After you have everything mixed, you can add the green onions and cook another couple of minutes and then sprinkle with the chopped peanuts. 

 

Sorry about the blurry photo! I was in a hurry to eat and didn't stop and

look at the pictures I was taking :)

 

When everything is mixed and warmed through, you are going to serve this in the middle of cold lettuce leaves! Wrap the sides of the lettuce around the mixture and enjoy! It's that easy! 

Woo-Hoo

 

I hope you all enjoy this as much as we do! I know it's not exactly PF Chang quality, but sometimes it's nice to bring those recipes home and try them out for yourself! Hope everyone is having a fun and fantastic start to your week!! Stay tuned for more deliciousness from our kitchen to yours!!
