Lettuce Wraps

Source: Followed a Food.com recipe: click here. It's a "copycat" recipe intended to taste like PF Chang's lettuce wraps.

Tried it: Yes... Yum.

Thoughts: I followed the recipe exactly for the sauces, but will change things up next time. Although everything was great when combined together, the "special sauce" alone was a little too sweet for me... I'll definitely cut the sugar content, and mix up the other ingredients a bit.

My changes for this time around were:

  • Added the hot mustard & chili paste directly into the Special Sauce before refrigerating
  • Used pre-cooked chicken: Trader Joe's Roasted Rosemary Chicken Breast (about 3/4 of the package). 
  • Added Chinese noodles to the wraps (boiled them briefly, then crisped them in a lightly oiled pan)
  • Added a bit more soy sauce to the hot mixture when cooking
  • Sprinkled cayenne on each wrap before serving
