Ingredients




2 lbs lean ground chicken
6 cloves garlic, chopped
6 oz shitake mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup duck sauce
3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup water
scallions, sliced
romaine or iceberg lettuce {iceberg is a better vessel but romaine has more nutrition}
matchstick carrots {or shredded if you can't find
shredded red cabbage
fresh cilantro

Preparation

1 In a bowl stir together the soy sauce, water, duck sauce, hoisin and sesame oil. 2 In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have cooked down a bit and the garlic is fragrant. 3 Add in the chicken and break up the meat as it is cooking with either a wooden spoon or my favorite a potato masher. 4 When the chicken is mostly cooked through go ahead and stir in the sauce and cook a few more minutes until the chicken is cooked through. 5 Shut the heat and stir in a couple handfuls of scallion. 6 I served all the fixings on a platter... the lettuce leaves, carrots, shredded cabbage and cilantro. 7 Add a bit of chicken to the lettuce and top with all those gorgeous colored veggies.
