Wanna Be Pf Changs Lettuce Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat the canola oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add the ground chicken and ground pork cooking until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Make sure to break the meat apart as it is cooking. Once it is browned and done, drain the excess fat. 2. Stir in the garlic, ginger, onions and carrots. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 1 to2 minutes. Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, Sriracha, sesame oil and water chestnuts. Cook until the water chestnuts are tender, about 1 minute. Season with the salt and lemon pepper to taste. Finish with the lemon juice and toasted sesame seeds. 3. To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken-and-pork mixture into the center of a butter lettuce leaf, top with some of the raw scallions and crushed wasabi peas or Asian trail mix.

Steps:

• Dice the chicken into tiny pieces. Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons soybean oil, ginger, garlic, chili flakes and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix together in circular motion until well mixed.
• Let marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
• Mix together the citrus juices, soy, and hoisin sauce with a whisk. Reserve until needed.
• Clean the romaine lettuce, chopping off the stem, peeling each 'spear' and running under clean cold water. Reserve in refrigerator until ready to use. Chop scallions into rings and reserve chilled.
• Coat a very hot sauté pan lightly with soybean or vegetable oil.
• Lay the chicken around the sauté pan being careful not to lay too many on top of each other. Sear the chicken until crispy and golden brown, about 2 ½ minutes. Once chicken is brown, toss gently in pan and sear another 2 ½ minutes. The pan will appear to "burn", but that is the carmelization and where all the flavor comes from.
• Add ½ of the citrus soy mixture to the sauté pan and coat well. Let the sauce coat the chicken until it is glazed, and thickens on the chicken. Add more or less depending on how "wet" you want your mixture. Spoon chicken onto a plate.
• Wrap the chicken mixture in romaine lettuce and top with scallion rings. Serve and enjoy!
• *Fun fact: this recipe can also be done with baby shrimps, fish or beef.

Steps:

• Make the special sauce by dissolving the sugar in water in a small bowl.
• Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice and sesame oil.
• Mix well and refrigerate this sauce until you're ready to serve.
• Combine the hot water with the hot mustard and set this aside as well.
• Eventually add your desired measurement of mustard and garlic chili sauce to the special sauce mixture to pour over the wraps.
• Bring oil to high heat in a wok or large frying pan.
• Saute chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes per side or done.
• Remove chicken from the pan and cool.
• Keep oil in the pan, keep hot.
• As chicken cools mince water chestnuts and mushrooms to about the size of small peas.
• Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing the soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar together in a small bowl.
• When chicken is cool, mince it as the mushrooms and water chestnuts are.
• With the pan still on high heat, add another Tbsp of vegetable oil.
• Add chicken, garlic, onions, water chestnuts and mushrooms to the pan.
• Add the stir fry sauce to the pan and saute the mixture for a couple minutes then serve it in the lettuce"cups".
• Top with"Special Sauce".

Steps:

• To make the pouring sauce: In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in 1/2 cup warm water, then add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice and sesame oil. Mix well and throw in the fridge until you're ready to eat. Just before serving, combine 1 teaspoons hot water with dijon mustard and garlic and mix in small bowl. Add to the pouring sauce, 1/2 a teaspoon at time to taste.
• To make the stir-fry sauce: Prep the stir fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
• To make the chicken stir-fry: Combine oils and add to wok or large frying pan. Heat oil over high heat until it glistens, about one minute. Add chicken and saute until mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat under the wok down to medium-high. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, wait one minute, and then add garlic, onions, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and the stir-fry sauce you prepared earlier. Stir-fry everything until the mushrooms have cooked through, about 4 minutes, and remove to a serving dish. Serve stir-fry with iceberg lettuce or nappa cabbage leaf wraps and top with pouring sauce. 8 points per serving (2 lettuce wraps)
