Perfect Lettuce Wraps
Hilda, told me these were perfect, and not to forget how to make them. Yesterday is a blur, so I am writing this just after dinner.
Saute 2 onions in some oil and margarine.
While this is cooking. Take 3 Organic Chicken breast halves (thats 1.5 chicken breasts) and finely dice those with a chefs knife. That take all of about 3 minutes. Place this chicken and 1/2 cup soy sauce, some cayenne pepper, 1 tbl sugar, and one egg in a non reactive bowl. Stir to incorporate. While this is marinating and the onions are slowly cooking, finely dice some scallions, crunch some hole peanuts. Turn off the onions. Now go take a shower. When all clean come back put all the chicken in a with the onions. Start cooking, after about 5 minutes, take 2 tbls corn starch and cold water mixed and put in chicken. Brown up the chicken. Add about 1/2 the chopped scallions and some bean sprouts to the chicken. When its all done, spoon the chicken in some baby romaine lettuce leaves. Top with the crunched peanuts, more scallions and some bean sprouts.
Personally I would have made them more spicy, added some water chestnuts, and perhaps added garlic. But I wont change a thing....
