1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, hand-minced or ground
450 g
1 can (140 g) water chestnuts, diced
140 g
1½ cups (150 g) mushrooms, diced fine
150 g
1 large carrot (120 g), diced fine
120 g
4 green onions, sliced
40 g
3 cloves garlic, minced
9 g
1 Tbsp (12 g) grated ginger
12 g
3 Tbsp (45 g) coconut aminos
45 g
1 Tbsp (20 g) allulose maple syrup
20 g
1 Tbsp (15 g) rice vinegar
15 g
2 tsp (10 g) sriracha
10 g
1¼ tsp (5 g) toasted sesame oil
5 g
2 heads baby gem or butter lettuce (200 g), leaves separated
200 g
oil spray
3 g

Method

  1. Whisk the aminos, syrup, vinegar, and sriracha into the sauce.
  2. Brown the chicken hard in a misted skillet, chopping it into fine crumble, ~5 minutes.
  3. Add mushrooms, carrot, garlic, and ginger; 2 minutes. Water chestnuts last — they must stay crunchy.
  4. Sauce in, 60 seconds to glaze. Off heat: sesame oil and green onions.
  5. Serve the skillet next to a tower of cold crisp leaves. Spoon, wrap, eat, repeat.
