Serves: 4-5
Ingredients
  • 250 gms Ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped garlic
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil plus 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk green onions
  • 2 tbsp roasted peanuts, and roughly pounded with a mortar and pestle (I used a little bacon fat to roast the peanuts)
For the sauces:
  • ½ tsp black bean sauce
  • ½ tsp mustard dijon
  • 1 capful of vinegar (probably a tbsp- yikes sorry for the approximation!)
  • 1 tsp worcestershire
  • 1 cap soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp schezwan sauce
  • 1 tsp honey
Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tbsp sesame n olive oil each over high heat. Add and cook the ground chicken, stirring often to break the meat. Stir fry until entirely cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and allow to cool, reserving any oil in the pan to fry the vegetables.
  2. To the pan, add a little more sesame oil and olive oil. Heat oil on medium high heat, and add the garlic. Once golden, add the onions and fry till translucent. Add the sauces and the ground chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Season and add the spring onions and the roasted peanuts. Remove from pan and place in a serving dish.
  4. You can prepare your lettuce leaves a little ahead of time by removing whole leaves and placing them in cold water with a few pieces of ice in it. Remove leaves and dry them off before serving them.
  5. To serve, take a huge platter and arrange lettuce leaves on the outer edge of a platter. In the middle place a bowl with the meat mixture. Let your guests spoon the mixture into lettuce leaves and eat taco-style.
