Ingredients:

Serving

for the sauce
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tbsp. sweet soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. mirin
1 tbsp. peanut/vegetable oil
1 tbsp. brown sugar
for the chicken mix
1 iceberg/butter lettuce
1 1/2 lb. boneless chicken breast, cut to 1/2 inch cubes
2 carrots, chopped to 1/4 inch cubes
1/2 red bell peppers, sliced to long strips
8 oz/220 g of water chestnuts, drained and diced
1 tbsp. ginger, well chopped
2 spring onions, chopped to 1/4 inch pieces
1 jalapeno, well chopped
1/2 cup of cilantro, leaves only
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 cup of fresh sprouts
1 tbsp. peanut/vegetable oil

Directions:

Heat a wok with 1 tbsp. of oil, until it’s very hot (about 4-5 minutes). At this point you can add all the ingredients together, but I prefer to give the chicken a quick fry for 2-3 minutes, while I stir it. See Photo
Put the chicken with all the liquids in a separate bowl. Roughly clean the wok, add 1 tbsp. of oil and add the ginger, let it cook for 2 minutes. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and throw all the ingredients besides the chicken into the wok.
Make sure you are using the highest flame possible and stir every couple of seconds. After 5 minutes add the chicken (and its liquid) and mix all together for additional 3 minutes – and you are done. Taste it to see it you want to add something to the flavor.
Cut the lettuce head into two (or try to remove the leaves gently without tearing them, whatever works better).
Once the chicken mixture has chilled a bit, fill the lettuce with 1-2 tbsp See Photo. of the chicken mix, and take a bite.
It tastes so good – simple but sophisticated in a way, crunchy and …healthy! Enjoy.
