Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil (for aromatic warmth)
  • 1 pound Ground chicken (93% lean preferred; try turkey)
  • 1 medium Vidalia onion (finely diced)
  • ⅓ cup Hoisin sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (for balance)
  • 1 tablespoon Asian chili garlic sauce (or sriracha)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger (or 2 tsp grated)
  • 8-ounce can Water chestnuts (drained and chopped, optional)
  • 2–3 Green onions (thinly sliced)
  • ½ teaspoon Salt (to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
  2. Add ground chicken, breaking up clumps with a spatula until cooked through.
  3. Add diced Vidalia onion—the moisture will create a natural thin sauce.
  4. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 1–2 minutes.
  5. Add hoisin sauce, gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili garlic sauce. Mix well.
  6. Add drained water chestnuts (if using) and diced green onions. Cook 2–3 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve in large lettuce leaves.

Notes

Use 93% lean ground chicken or substitute ground turkey for juiciness.
Lettuce holds heat well—serve with rice vinegar dipping sauce if desired.
No bean thread noodles used in this version; customize with additional veggies.
