How to Make Chicken Lettuce Wraps Like Pf Changs Copycat

Cut and discard woody stems from 8 oz mushrooms.
Finely mince the mushrooms.
Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp sherry, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Stir to thoroughly coat the chicken.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Let sit for 15 minutes to marinate.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until browned.
Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pan.
Add 1 tbsp minced ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2-3 finely chopped red chilies (adjust to your spice preference), and 1/2 cup chopped onion.
Stir-fry for about 1 minute.
Add the minced mushrooms, 1/2 cup bamboo shoots (sliced), and 1/2 cup water chestnuts (sliced).
Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
Add the prepared cooking sauce to the pan.
Cook until the sauce has thickened and is heated through (about 2-3 minutes).
In a separate skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add 3 oz cellophane noodles. Fry until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Break into small pieces.
Cover the bottom of a serving dish with the crispy cellophane noodles.
Pour the chicken mixture over the noodles.
Serve immediately with crisp lettuce cups for wrapping.
