Instructions for Beijing City Chicken Wrapped in Lettuce Leaves

Heat vegetable oil & 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil over high heat in a wok or large skillet, add ginger & garlic, and stirfry for a few seconds. Add chicken & stirfry until the chicken turns white on all sides. Remove from pan, and add onion, water chestnuts, carrot, and ham. Stirfry for 2 minutes, then return chicken to the pan, tossing the mixture. Add soy and Hoisin sauces, stirring until combined with the stirfry mixture. Pour the broth mixture over the stirfry & stir until thickened. Sprinkle with remaining sesame oil & remove to a serving platter. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of chicken in the center of each lettuce leaf. Tuck in the bottom and sides, gently rolling each package to encase the filling. Serves 2 per person makes a total of 6 *Fresh veggie wrappers become more pliable for wrapping when left at room temperature for 30 minutes. Converted by MC_Buster. NOTES : This quick chicken dish is flavored with Hoisin sauce and wrapped in lettuce leaves, for a lowfat entree. The chicken can be prepared a day ahead, and stirfried right before serving. Wash the lettuce leaves the day before, dry well, and store in the refrigerator. Cool lettuce is a perfect compliment to the spicy chicken. If you dont have lettuce, roll this mixture in flour tortillas, or serve it unwrapped over white rice. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
