How to Make Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps

  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and chilies and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Stir in the water chestnuts, carrots, and green onions. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
  5. Stir in the crispy noodles just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more soy sauce, honey, or chili to your liking.
  7. Spoon the chicken mixture into crisp lettuce cups and serve immediately. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
