Dinner Tonight: Minced Chicken In Lettuce Cups Recipe
- 2 pounds chicken, skin removed and bones removed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
- 2 scallions, white part diced and green part chopped
- 1 cup cremini mushroom, chopped
- 8 leaves Boston, bibb, or iceberg lettuce
- Salt and pepper
- Finely dice the chicken. I found a meat cleaver to work best, though a chefs knife will work, too.
- Pour the oil into a work or large iron skillet set over high heat. Add the ginger and scallion whites and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Dump in the chicken and mushrooms. Continue stirring, breaking up the chicken pieces, and cook for about a minute, or until the chicken is white and no longer raw. Pour in the oyster sauce and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from the heat and add the scallion greens and chopped water chestnuts. Stir until everything is combined. Season with salt if necessary. Fill each lettuce cup with a little bit of the mixture and serve.
