PF Changs Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients:

Marinade
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons sherry wine or red wine (optional, I didn’t have any so I didn’t use it)
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons soy sauce
½ tsp sesame oil
Salt and pepper

Cooking Sauce
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine (again optional)
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons corn starch

Filling Ingredients
1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced very small
5 Tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil
1 teaspoon ginger, minced or grated
2 teaspoons garlic, minced or grated
½ cup green onions, minced
1 cup of shiitake mushrooms, minced (dried or fresh… if dried soak in water for 30 minutes prior to using and remove woody stems)
1 (8 ounce can) water chestnuts, minced
1 package Chinese cellophane noodles, cooked to pkg. directions (optional)
*12 iceberg lettuce cups (washed)

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients for “Cooking Sauce” and set aside in a small bowl.
2. In a medium bowl combine “marinade” ingredients and mix well. Add chicken and stir to coat. Stir in 1 Tbs. oil and let sit for 15 minutes.

3. Heat a wok or large skillet on medium-high heat. Add 3 Tbs. oil, then add chicken and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Add 2 Tbs. Oil back to the pan and add ginger, garlic, and green onion. Stir fry for one minute. Then add mushrooms and water chestnuts and stir fry 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Stir in the mixed “cooking sauce” to the pan. Cook until thickened and hot and chicken is cooked.
5. Pour cooked cellophane noodles onto a dish in small pieces & pour chicken on top and serve on lettuce.

Special Dipping Sauce
½ cup water
¼ cup sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil or chili oil with sesame flavor
1 tablespoon Chinese hot mustard (or less if you don’t care for spicy food)

Combine ingredients and spoon over wraps. Adjust amounts according to your liking.

    Delicious! After many days of morning sickness and loss of appetite I came across this recipe and instantly knew I would be satisfied. I am overseas right now and don’t have access to my favs! We both thought they were perfect and look forward to eating them again…Thanks for my first delicious meal in days!!!!
