This simple meal wrapped fresh lettuce leaves around juicy and moist ground chicken. P. F. Chang’s is always superior to home-cooked food.
HEALTHY CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
The lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang’s are a must-try for any fan of Chinese cuisine. They are served with a flavorful and tasty dipping sauce of ground chicken wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves.
They may be made at home for a nutritious weekday dinner and serve as an excellent appetizer.
HOW DO YOU MAKE LETTUCE ROLLS OUT OF?
Hoisin sauce is one of the key ingredients, along with chicken and fresh lettuce. Ground chicken with your choice of iceberg or butter lettuce is a must-have.
HOW DO YOU CUT THE LETTUCE?
Make sure you buy ahead of iceberg or butter lettuce. Remove the stem at the base. Wrapping a leaf requires that you separate each leaf into individual pieces. If the leaves are huge, cut them in half. On the other hand, butter lettuce has smaller leaves, so you don’t need to chop them.
THE BEST LETTUCE WRAPS SAUCE
I combine Chinese Hoisin sauce with Sriracha for the sauce on the wraps since I like it hot and delicious. Dilute and stir in warm water to make the sauce a little more fluid.
Lettuce is wrapped around the ground chicken, and sauce is drizzled on top.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix the marinade ingredients with the ground chicken and vegetables. Allow 15 minutes for this.
- Set aside the dipping sauces. Add the frying oil to a wok or skillet and heat it up. Garlic should be browned before the chicken is added. Cook the ground chicken in a skillet, breaking up any lumps that appear so that the chunks are uniform in size. Stir-fry the chicken for a further few minutes or until it is entirely done. Set aside the dish.
- Remove the iceberg lettuce head’s lettuce leaves with care. Make sure you don’t damage the foliage. A generous portion of chicken should be spooned into the center of each lettuce leaf and served right away. Put some hoisin-ponzu or sweet chili sauce on it before you start eating. Alternatively, you can serve the chicken with the sauce already on top.
