Ingredients:

Serving

4 large boston lettuce leaves, washed and spun dry
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1/2 skinless boneless chicken breast, chilled (about 6 oz)
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp dry white wine
1/3 cup canned water chestnuts (about 2 oz), rinsed, drained and chopped fine
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg white, beaten lightly
4 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp asian sesame oil
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted

Directions:

Brush inside of each lettuce leaf with 1/2 tablespoon hoisin sauce and chill.
In a food processor pulse chicken until chopped fine. In a small cup stir together cornstarch and wine and in a bowl stir together chicken, cornstarch mixture, water chestnuts, bell pepper, salt and egg white. Marinate chicken mixture 5 minutes.
Make sauce: In a small bowl, stir together sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved.
In a large saucepan with 6 cups salted boiling water cook chicken mixture, stirring constantly to break up lumps, until chicken is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Drain chicken mixture in sieve.
In a large non-stick skillet heat vegetable oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and cook garlic, stirring until softened. Add chicken mixture and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add sauce and cook, stirring, until mixture is coated, about 2 minutes.
Divide chicken mixture among prepared lettuce leaves and sprinkle with pine nuts. Wrap leaves loosely around filling.
