Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (mine was seasoned)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (I used almost 2 T)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (I almost used srirracha instead, but I didn't)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
For stir fry sauce:
- 2 chicken breasts (about 3/4 lb. total), diced (I used more like 1 lb)
- 8 leaves of greenleaf or iceburg lettuce
- 3 tablespoons canola oil (or oil of choice)
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/4 cup cashews, chopped (I estimated this, and probably put in more like 1/2 c)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- basil to garnish
For Cashew Chicken:
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients for the stir fry sauce making sure to dissolve brown sugar. Set aside.
- Heat canola oil in pan over medium to medium high heat. Add diced chicken and brown (about 4-5 minutes). Remove chicken from oil. Add onions, garlic and 1 teaspoon soy sauce to pan; brown. When onions and garlic are brown and tender, add stir fry sauce, browned chicken, and cashews. Saute mixture for a few minutes and remove from heat.
- Spoon chicken mixture into individual lettuce leaves. Add your favorite hot sauce, more cashews or basil.
