……….and I think that they are going to start showing up on the menu around here again and again and again. It is about the only time I actually enjoy lettuce. I love the cool crispness of the lettuce against the hot seasoned pork and the spicy sauce.
Asian chicken lettuce cups
==========================
Use this as an outline.
Measurements are just approximate. I don’t measure anything.
1 or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 pound of chicken breasts ground, or
lean ground pork
1 minced garlic clove
1 or 2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 cup chopped onion
chicken broth
salt
3 green onions chopped
Bean sprouts
fresh chopped cilantro
Lettuce Leaves
Heat oil and saute the onions, when soft add the ground chicken or pork. Do not brown. Add the garlic and the ginger. Add a little chicken broth to stop the meat from sticking. Simmer until meat is cooked. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and add the green onion.
Sauce
(season to suit own taste)
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 or 2 tablespoons of garlic chili sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce.
minced ginger
minced garlic
sesame oil to taste
Additional ingredients.
Peanuts (Optional)
toasted sesame seeds
Chopped water chestnuts
To serve, spoon on to lettuce leaves and drizzle on a little of the sauce. Top with bean sprouts and cilantro
