Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 grater
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb ground chicken or turkey
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce may sub aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger finely grated
  • kosher salt
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp chili sauce sriracha or Hungarian Eros Pista
  • 8 oz can sliced water chestnuts drained and diced
  • 3 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 head butter lettuce

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl whisk together garlic, hoisin, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, white pepper, and sriracha. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, keeping in mind olive oil has a low smoke point so be careful not to let it burn. Brown the chicken or turkey while breaking it up into small pieces, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and sauce; stir until onions become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spoon a couple tablespoons of meat mixture onto a lettuce leaf cup. I like to serve with assorted veggies and fresh herbs. I typically use radishes, cucumber, purple cabbage, mint, cilantro and chives. This time I added some heirloom carrots to the mix. Add desired toppings like you would when making tacos.
