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

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, sesame oil, and fish sauce.
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.
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.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir everything together and cook for 1 more minute.
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.
