Chicken Lettuce Wraps
- 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 large (or 3 small) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
- 3 whole scallions, chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons plum sauce
- 8 large leaves iceberg lettuce, rinsed and dried well
- 1/2 cup canned crunchy chow mein noodles
- Mix soy sauce, broth, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a 2-cup measure.
- Place chicken breasts in a food processor. Drizzle the marinade over the top and process mixture until the chicken is ground, or finely chop it. Spoon mixture into a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add canola oil, garlic, and ginger and cook about 10 seconds. Add the chicken mixture, breaking lumps into small pieces with a spatula until chicken is cooked thoroughly, about 6 minutes.
- Add chopped scallions, carrot, and celery; cook, tossing with the spatula, for 1 minute, or until tender. Stir in hoisin and plum sauces; toss.
- Spoon chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the chow mein noodles; wrap the leaf around to make a pouch.
- How kids can help: Measure soy sauce, broth, sesame oil, and cornstarch.
