Recipe #2, Week 5?: Allison's Drunken Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Starting the lettuce wraps recipe required finding the wok. Here it is buried on a couch in our basement, which I realized could be on an episode of horders.


Lots of chopping, a phone-a-friend, and a glass of wine later, the lettuce wraps were made. While they tasted fine, I was not overly impressed with all the required chopping (without my handy-dandy as-seen-on-tv chopper thingy, I would've given up for sure) and the straining that was needed but not mentioned in the receipe (as discovered via phone-a-friend-in-a-panic). However, the husband devoured it and gave it two thumbs up, so I will have to attempt it again.


Possible modifications on attempt #2: marinate chicken in the SoyVay prior to cooking, strain excess liquid from veggies and chicken before adding SoyVay, and don't overcook the veggies, which I think I did because "until tender" is not specific enough for me. I will add specifics to the recipe when I attempt it again.

So, overall a success!
