Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and cooked through.
  2. Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced water chestnuts and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3-5 minutes until mushrooms soften.
  4. Pour in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and flavors to meld.
  6. While the chicken mixture is cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  7. To serve, spoon the chicken filling into individual butter lettuce leaves. Garnish with shredded carrots, chopped green onions, and chopped peanuts if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges and the prepared dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crunch, you can add some finely chopped bell peppers or bamboo shoots to the filling. If you don't have ground chicken, ground turkey or pork also work well. Adjust sriracha to your spice preference.
