Recipe #2 will be Allison's Drunken Chicken Lettuce Wraps! A book club favorite that was finally documented by Mrs. Hallbee. This recipe will work well for one and will give me a chance to use the wok. Yes, it was a wedding present. I vow to go get the ingredients tomorrow at lunch and make tomorrow night. I will not fear the estimated amounts; I'm just going to go with it.
I'm calling this "Drunken Chicken Lettuce Wraps" because 1) they are drunken with yummy sauce and 2) it took Allison explaining it to us about 3 times before I could remember enough to attempt myself. Thanks for a great recipe Allison.
2-3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
Finely diced vegetables, about 1/2 to 1 cup each (carrots, celery, red pepper, onions)
1 small can diced water chestnuts
Trader Joe's Soyaki sauce (I think Allison uses Very Very Teriyaki)
Iceberg lettuce in large pieces
Prepared rice (white or brown will do - I used TJ frozen jasmine)
La Choy rice noodles
Note: amounts are estimated...
In large wok or saute pan start to cook firm vegetables (carrots first), adding rest of vegetables and 2-3 tablespoons of Soyaki sauce. Cook vegetables until tender. Move vegettables to outside of pan and add chicken to pan with 2-3 tablespoons additional sauce. Add chestnuts and more sauce if needed. Continue cooking and stirring until chicken is done.
Serve with rice, lettuce wraps, rice noodles and extra sauce.
