Course: Entrée
Cuisine: Chinese
Servings: 4

Ingredients

SAUCE:

  • 3-4 T. hoisin sauce plus more for serving
  • 1 T. oyster sauce
  • 1 T. low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 2 T. water
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch

FILLING:

  • 5-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs finely chopped
  • 8-9 shiitake mushrooms fresh or rehydrated, minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp. fresh ginger minced
  • 1-2 green onions minced
  • 1 (8 oz.) can bamboo shoots minced
  • Butter lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

  • SAUCE: In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients, set aside.
  • FILLING: Finely chop the chicken and mince the vegetables.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, stir-fry the chicken in a little vegetable oil. When the chicken is longer pink, add in the rest of the filling ingredients and the sauce. Cook for 3 to 5 more minutes.
  • Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooked filling mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with more hoisin sauce, if desired.
  • Eat taco-style, wrapped neatly like a burrito.

Notes

If you use chicken breast or tenderloin instead of thighs, you can save a lot of time reducing your food preparation. Thigh meat will require more effort, but taste better. While the chicken breast will be faster and healthier, but not quite as tasty.
