Sweet And Sour Chicken Lettuce Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Stir again just before using.
• Prepare the cups: Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add the carrot, celery, bell pepper, peas and red onion and stir-fry about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, sprouts and shiitakes. Add 1/4 cup of the prepared sauce and cook until thickened, about 30 seconds, scraping up any browned bits. Transfer the stir-fry to a bowl; top with the scallions and peanuts.
• Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons canola oil over high heat. Fry the wontons until golden and crisp, about 15 seconds per side. Transfer to paper towels and season with salt.
• Fill the lettuce leaves with the stir-fry. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Crumble the wontons on top or serve alongside. Serve with the remaining sauce.

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts, salt, peppercorns, halved onion, whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, and water in a large pot.
• Cover the pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Once the water is simmering, cook for 10 minutes, until the chicken registers 165°F (74°C) when pierced with an instant-read thermometer.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and discard the cooking liquid. Using 2 forks, pull the chicken apart until shredded.
• In a large nonstick pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
• Add the diced onion and a pinch of salt and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the soy sauce, honey, and lime juice and stir until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes.
• Add the shredded chicken and mix until everything is well incorporated.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let the chicken cool for 5 minutes before spooning into the lettuce leaves.
• Top with sliced scallions.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
• Roll and coat chicken cubes in flour mixture.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until not longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes; remove and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
• Cook and stir celery, green peppers, and onion in heated oil until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
• Return chicken to the skillet.
• Whisk ketchup, lemon juice, pineapple, and brown sugar in a bowl; pour into the skillet; bring to a boil.
• Cook and stir chicken and vegetables in sauce until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil and saute the chicken until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon, reserving the fat and liquid in the pan.
• Add in the water chestnuts, mushrooms, bell peppers and sliced scallions and saute for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, add in the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, 15 to 20 seconds. Add the hoisin, soy sauce, mirin and cooked chicken and simmer for a couple more minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• Thinly slice the reserved scallion tops. Scoop the chicken onto lettuce cups and garnish with the sliced scallions, chopped cashews, a bit of sriracha and a dash of fish sauce.
