Preparation

Cooking

  2. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add diced water chestnuts, diced shiitake mushrooms, and half of the sliced green onions to the skillet, cooking for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture and stir to combine, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Serving
  1. Serve the chicken mixture warm with fresh butter lettuce cups. Provide extra sauce and sriracha on the side for individual preference.

Notes

For extra crunch, you can add some chopped peanuts or crispy fried noodles to the filling. If you don't have ground chicken, ground turkey can be used as a substitute.
