Ingredients

For the sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

For the chicken

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 1 piece small onion minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 2 carrots grated
  • 1 piece red bell pepper diced
  • lettuce leaves

To Garnish

  • Green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Make the sauce
    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, sesame oil, and fish sauce.
  • Cook the chicken
    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the ground chicken with salt and pepper and cook, breaking it apart, for about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.
  • Sauté the Vegetables
    In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, carrots, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the vegetables soften.
    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Make the Sauce
    Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir everything together and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Assemble the Wraps
    Spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves and top with chopped green onions.
    Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep the lettuce separate to prevent it from wilting.
  • Substitutions: Swap ground chicken for ground turkey or pork. Use brown sugar instead of honey.
