Japanese-inspired · Main course · 25 min total

Savory and sweet teriyaki chicken wrapped in crisp lettuce cups makes for a light yet satisfying meal or appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
• 1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki sauce.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
4. Remove from heat. Spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce cups. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Use iceberg or romaine lettuce if butter lettuce is unavailable.
• Leftover filling can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated.
• For extra crunch, add water chestnuts or shredded carrots to the filling.
