How to Make Actual P F Chang's Lettuce Wrap Recipe Not A Copycat

  1. Dice 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken with 2 tbsp soybean oil, 2 tbsp minced ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, and 2 tbsp soy sauce.
  3. Gently mix the chicken marinade in a circular motion until evenly coated.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp hoisin sauce.
  6. Set aside until ready to use.
  7. Wash and thoroughly dry 1 large head of romaine lettuce. Remove the core and separate the leaves.
  8. Refrigerate the lettuce leaves until ready to use.
  9. Thinly slice 2 scallions into rings and refrigerate.
  10. Heat 1 tbsp soybean oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
  11. Add the marinated chicken to the hot pan in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
  12. Sear the chicken until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side.
  13. Once browned, gently toss the chicken and sear for another 2 minutes to promote caramelization. (The pan may appear to burn slightly—this is normal and adds to the flavor.)
  14. Pour the citrus soy mixture into the pan and toss to coat the chicken evenly.
  15. Simmer until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken, about 2-3 minutes. Add more sauce if desired.
  16. Transfer the chicken to a serving bowl.
  17. Spoon the chicken mixture into the romaine lettuce cups.
  18. Garnish with scallion rings.
  19. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  20. **Optional:** Substitute the chicken with 1 lb baby shrimp, firm white fish fillets (cut into bite-sized pieces), or thinly sliced beef.
