Lettuce Wraps with Asian Chicken
with Shredded Vegetables

Ingredients:
1 lb. 97 % lean chicken breast
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons hoison sauce
(May substitute Oyster Sauce)
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
1 teaspoon Sirachia sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

2 carrots shredded
4 radishes shredded
2 Julienned sliced onions

4 Butter Lettuce cups per person

You can substitute Romaine or Iceburg lettuce
whatever works.

Directions:

1. To make the filling I found that with this lean chicken meat it is better to pan simmer the meat. This means put the meat in a saute pan with the garlic and add a cup of water and simmer the meat till it is done and the water has reduced by half or less, add the remaining ingredients and simmer for another minute to let the flavors mix. Don't over cook or the meat will dry out.

2. Shred the carrots with a mandolin or other kind of grater,, or carefully with a knife.

3. With a little practice you can figure out the best way to shred a radish.

4. You can serve them on a platter and let everyone build their own wrap or divide them up on everyone's plate and it becomes a nice garnish.

Assemble on a plate with 4 lettuce leaves i used Butter Lettuce.

This is a simple and flexible dish. The idea is a healthy canvas for your creative ideas.
