1 pound Ground Chicken or turkey ($3)
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil ($0.15)
2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil ($0.30)
3 Cloves Garlic ($0.20)
2 Teaspoons Ginger (negligible)
2 Green Onions ($0.15)
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce ($0.30)
6-8 Leaves Iceberg Lettuce ($0.95)
2 Carrots ($0.41)
Directions
Rice Noodles
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Fry
Once hot, add a small handful of thin rice noodles, which will fry instantly. Flip over and then remove from the oil immediately and set aside on a napkin lined plate.
Lettuce Wraps
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oils once hot and then add the ground chicken.
Cook over medium-high heat until chicken is almost cooked through; stirring intermittently with the meat chopper to properly crumble the meat.
Flavor
Add the garlic, ginger, green onions and soy sauce and stir well. Remove from heat and serve with rice noodles and lettuce. You can top it with some sweet chili sauce or sriracha if you want.
Notes
carrots are good in this recipe, so is chicken liver??
