Ingredientes

3 to 5 tablespoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)

1 pound ground chicken

2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided

8 ounces white button or cremini mushrooms, finely chopped

Optional vegetables: finely diced onions, finely diced bell peppers, finely diced or grated carrots

1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger

1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (from about 6 scallions), divided

2 small heads Bibb or butter lettuce

Serving options: red pepper flakes, sriracha hot sauce

Instruções

Step 1

Place 3 tablespoons of the hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil in a small bowl and whisk. If you'd like a more thickened, glossy sauce, whisk in 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional); place near the stove.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound ground chicken and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until cooked through and no longer pink, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the same pan. Add 8 ounces finely chopped white button or cremini mushrooms and any optional vegetables, and cook, stirring occasionally until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in finely chopped water chestnuts, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Return the chicken to the pan and add 1/2 of the scallions.

Step 6

Add the sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbling and the sauce is warmed through, 30 to 60 seconds.

Step 7

Taste and add more hoisin sauce if desired.

Step 8

Break off all the lettuce leaves and pile them on a plate in the center of the table, along with small dishes with sriracha hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and the remaining scallions. Transfer the hot chicken mixture to a serving dish, or serve straight from the skillet. Give everyone a spoon and let them dig in — place a generous spoonful of chicken mixture in the middle of a lettuce leaf, top with scallions and sriracha hot sauce or red pepper flakes, and eat right away.
