P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wrap Copycat
- Total Time: 16 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
Enjoy quick, healthy P.F. Chang’s style lettuce wraps at home! Savory ground chicken/turkey, crisp water chestnuts, delicious sauce in fresh lettuce cups. GF adaptable.
Ingredients
- Ground chicken or turkey: 1 lb (450g)
- Water chestnuts: 1 (8 oz/227g) can, drained and finely chopped
- Hoisin sauce: ¼ cup (60ml)
- Soy sauce (or tamari): 2 tbsp (30ml)
- Rice vinegar: 1 tbsp (15ml)
- Toasted sesame oil: 1 tsp (5ml)
- Fresh ginger: 1 tbsp, minced
- Fresh garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- Olive or preferred cooking oil: 1 tbsp (15ml)
- Crisp lettuce cups: 1-2 heads (e.g., butter, Boston, or iceberg)
- Optional garnishes: Chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes for a kick
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Mince garlic and fresh ginger. Drain and finely chop water chestnuts. Wash, separate, and pat lettuce leaves dry until crisp.
- Brown the Meat: Heat 1 tbsp olive or cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken or turkey and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink and browned (5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
- Build the Flavor Base: Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet with cooked meat. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Do not brown.
- Add Veggies and Sauce: Stir in chopped water chestnuts. In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour this sauce mixture over the meat and veggies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat everything beautifully.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the filling. Adjust seasonings as needed; add more soy sauce or red pepper flakes for heat if desired.
- Serve It Up: Spoon the warm, savory filling directly into crisp lettuce cups. Serve immediately as a satisfying lunch, a light dinner, or a healthy appetizer.
Notes
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce. Always check hoisin sauce labels for gluten-free certification.
- Low-Sodium: Opt for reduced-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
- Plant-Based: For a vegetarian/vegan option, substitute meat with finely crumbled firm tofu, lentils, or a mix of finely chopped mushrooms.
- Vegetable Additions: Enhance flavor and fiber by adding finely shredded carrots, bell peppers, or thinly sliced mushrooms during step 4.
- Meat Substitutions: Lean ground beef can be used instead of chicken or turkey. Ensure to drain any excess fat after browning.
