When I visit my mom we usually make it to P.F. Chang’s® at least once and always start the meal with their very popular chicken lettuce wraps. They do a good job with most of the dishes I’ve had, but the wraps are clearly my favorite. I don’t do a lot of copycat recipes; these chicken lettuce wraps, however, are a delicious exception.

1 cup diced shiitake mushroom caps

½ cup minced yellow onion

⅓ cup chopped green onion

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

2 teaspoons brown sugar

¼ cup chicken stock

¼ cup rice wine vinegar

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 teaspoons brown sugar

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Stir chicken, water chestnuts, mushrooms, yellow onion, 1/3 cup green onion, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ginger, and 2 teaspoons brown sugar together in a bowl. Pat mixture down, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step: 2

Whisk chicken stock, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ketchup, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and dry mustard together in a bowl until glaze is well-mixed.

Step: 3

Heat vegetable oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook and stir chicken mixture in hot oil until chicken no longer looks raw, about 2 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the glaze mixture into chicken mixture; cook and stir over high heat until chicken begins to caramelize and brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step: 4

Reduce heat to medium-low, pour remaining glaze into chicken mixture, and cook until heated through and slightly reduced, about 3 minutes more. Stir in cilantro, basil, and 1 1/2 tablespoons green onion. Transfer chicken mixture to a bowl and serve with lettuce leaves to wrap.
