Instructions

Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
Cook Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and no longer pink, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Add Sauces and Seasonings: Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, and sesame oil. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes to let the flavors meld and the mixture thicken slightly.
Incorporate Water Chestnuts & Green Onions: Add the finely chopped water chestnuts and thinly sliced green onions to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and cook an additional 2 minutes.
Serve: Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto a leaf of large leafy green lettuce. Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by cooked jasmine rice for a fuller meal.

Notes

Adjust the sriracha amount based on your preferred spice level.
For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari and ensure hoisin sauce is gluten-free.
Try using ground turkey or tofu as alternative proteins for variation.
Keep lettuce leaves whole and chilled for best wrapping experience.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
