Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
These savory chicken lettuce wraps are packed with bold, caramelized flavor and a satisfying crunch. Ground chicken is tossed in a rich amber caramel, then cooked with garlic, shallot, and cabbage before being coated in a glossy, umami-packed sauce. Each bite is perfectly balanced with fresh, crisp lettuce and cool cucumbers for contrast. Light yet deeply flavorful, they’re perfect for a quick meal or a fresh, hands-on dinner.
Ingredients
-
1lb ground chicken
-
3 tbsp sugar
-
2 tbsp oil

½ small cabbage, diced

½ shallot, finely diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 scallions, sliced, greens and whites separated

2 tbsp Red Boat Fish Sauce

1 ½ tbsp dark soy sauce

2 cucumbers, diced

Directions
In a pan over medium low heat, add oil and sugar. Give it a toss to combine. Allow for the sugar to melt and caramelize into a deep amber color.
Add ground chicken and quickly toss it in the caramelized sugar. Use a wooden spatula to break it up into smaller pieces.
Add in garlic, shallot, and cabbage. Saute until slightly softened and excess water has evaporated. Stir in Red Boat Fish Sauce, dark soy sauce, and black pepper until thoroughly mixed.
In a small bow, mix together water and potato starch until dissolved. Stir the potato starch slurry into the pan and bring it to a gentle boil until slightly thickened. Stir in scallion whites.
To serve, scoop ground chicken mixture into boston lettuce leaves and top with cucumbers, scallions and optional lime.
