JL Pow's Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Special Sauce:


Dissolve sugar into water then add the remaining ingredients






Add some of the cooked sauce to about 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to make a slurry. Add this to the sauce so that it thickens.



Set aside and cool for several hours. This sauce is TO DIE FOR!









Stir Fry:

Stir Fry Sauce:

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 . Add about 2 large tablespoons of Hoisen sauce to the mixture. Serve in lettuce cups with bean sprouts. Top with"Special Sauce".

  3. I think you need even more pictures, though. The rule of thumb should be YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY PICTURES.

  4. Jason... I took LOTS of pics of the process. I did it just like pioneer woman. The problem is this website. It takes forever to place pics where u want them. So user unfriendly. This one took me over an hour. Maybe I'll do better next post
