- In a bowl, mix together the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, hot chili oil, lime juice, ginger, and brown sugar if using.
- Whisk it together, then pour off half the liquid into a separate bowl.
- Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and put them into the bowl you used to make the marinade.
- Throw in the squeezed lime halves and set this aside to marinate for a bit.
- Into the small bowl with the other half of the marinade, whisk in the cornstarch and honey.
- Set aside.
- In a heavy skillet over high heat, pour in a small amount of oil.
- When its hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer.
- Let it sit on one side, undisturbed, for about a minute, then stir the chicken around and cook it until its totally done, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the sauce that you mixed in a separate bowl.
- Stir it around; the sauce will immediately start to thicken.
- Cook over low heat for 1 minute, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
- PEANUT SAUCE
- To make the peanut sauce, combine all the peanut sauce ingredients, adding water until it gets to a nice drizzle-able consistency.
- Taste and add more of what it needs: spice, sweetness, etc.
- Set aside.
- OPTION 1 ASSEMBLY
- Lay a whole wheat tortilla on a cutting board.
- Add lettuce leaves, chicken pieces, carrot and cucumber strips, and cilantro leaves.
- Drizzle on a good amount of peanut sauce, then sprinkle on some peanuts.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly, then slice in half and serve!
- OPTION 2
- Instead of cutting the chicken into pieces, pound it pretty flat between two pieces of plastic wrap or in a ziploc bag.
- Season with salt and pepper, the grill or saute it until its totally done.
- Slice into thin strips.
- OPTION 2 ASSEMBLY
- Assemble as with Option 1.
- Just add a little extra peanut sauce for flavor!
