Instructions

1
|
Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and cilantro in a small bowl and set aside.
2
|
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
3
|
Toss in the bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
|
Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the ground chicken or turkey and sauté for 7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until cooked through.
5
|
Stir in the soy sauce mixture and salt and cook for 2 minutes until the juices evaporate and the filling is nicely coated. This step is important. Letting the liquid evaporate concentrates the flavor and keeps your lettuce cups from getting soggy
6
|
Spoon the filling into lettuce cups and serve immediately. To eat, just roll the lettuce around the filling and enjoy it like a little burrito.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Prep Your Lettuce Cups First 🥬
    Separate and chill your lettuce leaves 15 minutes before serving to keep them crisp and easy to handle as vessels for the warm filling.
  • Break Ground Chicken Into Tiny Pieces 🍗
    Use a wooden spoon to constantly break apart the chicken as it cooks into small, bite-sized crumbles for better sauce coating and texture in each wrap.
  • Bloom Your Aromatics in Oil 🧄
    Cook minced ginger and garlic in hot oil for 30 seconds before adding chicken to release their essential oils and create a deeply flavorful base.
  • Balance Your Sauce Sweet-Salty Ratio 🍯
    Taste and adjust honey and soy sauce separately—add soy sauce first for saltiness, then honey to round it out, as they interact differently on the palate.
  • Toast Lettuce Cups on the Pan 🔥
    Quickly warm the lettuce leaves in the pan after finishing the filling to add subtle char and make them more pliable and flavorful.
