Spicy Lettuce Wraps

• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2/3 cup lime juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon chili paste
• 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 small zucchini (about 1 pound)
• 1 pound fresh mushrooms
• 1 (8-ounce) can bamboo shoots
• 1 cucumber
• 1/2 red pepper
• 1 head iceberg or butter lettuce
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

1. To make the sauce: Place the soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and chili paste in a small bowl and stir until combined.
2. To make the wraps: Cut the chicken into 3- or 4-inch pieces.
3. Coat a large saute pan with cooking spray and add the chicken.
4. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
5. (Cut into one of the pieces to make sure there is no pink inside.)
6. Remove the chicken from the pan, let cool, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes.
7. Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
8. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
9. Trim the zucchini and mushrooms, discarding the ends, and dice into 1/4-inch pieces.
10. Drain the bamboo shoots and cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
11. Peel the cucumber, cut into matchstick-size pieces (about 1/8 by 1/8 by 2 inches), and set aside for the garnish.
12. Remove and discard the stem and seeds from the red pepper, cut into very thin slices, and set aside for the garnish.
13. Separate the lettuce leaves from the head, wash, and let dry on paper towels.
14. Place the lettuce, cucumber, and red pepper on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
15. Coat the saute pan with more cooking spray and add the onion and garlic.
16. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
17. Add the zucchini and mushrooms, cover and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
18. Add the chicken, bamboo shoots, ginger, and half of the sauce and cook, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
19. Place the filling in a bowl and serve with the lettuce leaves, cucumber, red pepper, peanuts, and remaining sauce on the side.
20. To assemble, place some of the filling inside a lettuce leaf.
21. Arrange some of the cucumber and red pepper over the filling.
22. Sprinkle with some of the chopped peanuts, drizzle with the sauce, and wrap up like a burrito.
23. This recipe makes enough that you could probably just leave out the chicken and still have enough to serve four people, or you could add extra mushrooms or zucchini.
