P.F. Changs Lettuce Wraps

Cousin Carly gave me this recipe and it's yummy!

Sauce:
4 T soy sauce
4 T dark brown sugar (light works too)
1 tsp rice vinegar

***We like them saucier so I double the sauce recipe.

Chicken Filling:
1 pound ground chicken (ground turkey works well)
8 oz can water chestnuts
2/3 can straw mushrooms
3 T green onions
1 tsp or clove of minced garlic

Maifun rice sticks (you can find these at any grocery store on the Asian foods isle)
Head of iceberg lettuce
vegetable oil

Brown chicken in heated oil. While meat cooks chop water chestnuts, mushrooms and green onion to about the size of peas. ( I use my pampered chef food chopper, it works great.)

Add vegetables to cooked chicken, then add garlic and sauce, let simmer until maifun sticks are ready.

Cook maifun sticks like package directions. (Very fun to cook, my kids love this part the best, this is why they love this for dinner.)

Cut head of lettuce in half and use the leaves for cups to spoon the meat filling into, wrap like a taco and eat. Yummy!
