One of my favorite dishes at PF Chang's is the lettuce wraps. They're so flavorful and refreshing, I can't get enough of them. This homemade and entirely different recipe is just as flavorful and refreshing.
Lettuce wraps are a good combination of savory, spicy and crunchy that I just love. Plus they’re easy. And I always like easy. There's only about 4 main ingredients and chances are you probably have most of them on hand.
Perfect, fast, and healthy for busy summer nights.
For sauce:
Mix all ingredients making sure to dissolve brown sugar. Set aside.
For cashew chicken:
Heat oil in pan over med-high heat. Add diced chicken and brown (4-5 minutes). Remove chicken from oil. Add onions, garlic, 1 t soy sauce to pan (and shredded cabbage if using); brown. When mixture is brown and tender, add stir fry sauce, browned chicken, cashews, and water chestnuts. Saute a few minutes. To serve: Spoon chicken mixture onto individual lettuce leaves, may add some hot sauce (Sririacha), more cashews, and maybe even some cilantro is desired. Roll up and eat!
Makes 6-8 lettuce wraps.
