Lettuce Wraps .9, .85, .85















I wish I had taken a picture of mine, I "borrowed" this photo from flickr. Anyway, its a high value meal, as it was easy to prepare, cheap cost, healthy and tastes good. I used ground chicken, next time I will probably try ground turkey. I will also add in cashews next time. You need a good crunch to go along with the chicken.

1 lbs ground chicken
1/2 cup small diced mushrooms
1 small onion, diced
a few cloves of garlic
rib of celery, chopped
can of water chestnuts, chopped
1 tbl rice wine vinegar.
tsp cayenne pepper
t tbl peanut sauce *
iceberg lettuce

Brown chicken in a bit of oil, when cooking add mushrooms, diced onion, and garlic, add soy sauce, peanut sauce, rice wine vineger, and cayenne pepper  to taste.  Once done add in water chestnuts (no flavor just texture) and celery. 
Serve on lettuce leaves. I had a hard time getting the lettuce leafs to look nice. 

*I used a tablespoon Bangkok Padang Peanut Sauce, available at Wegmans. Looking at the ingredients it is just peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce and some things I can't pronounce.
