Recipe: Thai Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Thai Lettuce Wraps with Garlic for Rhoda

Appetizers and Snacks
Hi Rohda:-) I found these two recipes on the internet. I have not tried either one. I hope they will be what you are looking for. Neither recipe calls for Thai basil but maybe that would be something you would want to consider adding??

Thai Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Servings: 6

Sauted Lean Ground Chicken Seasoned with Orange, Hoisin, Garlic, and Ginger, Rolled in Fresh Crisp
Iceberg Lettuce Leaves, topped with a Zesty Asian Sauce.

1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) orange juice, frozen concentrate
1 green onion, minced
1/2 tablespoon chili garlic paste, sauce
1/2 tablespoon orange peel, grated
1 1/4 pounds ground chicken
3 green onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon ginger root, fresh, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons orange peel, grated
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water chestnuts, canned, diced
2 cups rice sticks, fried in oil to puff up
1 lettuce, head, washed and large leaves separated and dried

Combine first 5 ingredients for sauce.

Combine next 10 ingredients (chicken through water chestnuts) and cook in large skillet until cooked through.

While meat mixture is cooking heat 1 cup vegetable oil over medium high heat until very hot.

Carefully place rice sticks in oil. They will puff up immediately. Carefully remove rice sticks to paper towel lined plate.

To serve place fried rice sticks on large platter and mound chicken mixture on top. Place lettuce leaves and sauce next to pork. Allow people to make their own wraps, starting with meat and then sauce on top and roll up.


Thai Lettuce Wraps with Garlic
Servings: 4

This is a popular Thai dish that makes a perfect light meal for a hot summer day. The taste is fresh and exotic, and it only requires 10 minutes of cooking.

1 lb. 92% Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round
2 tablespoons shallots
2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped, including green part
2 to 5 teaspoons fresh red chili, variety chosen according to individual preference
1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped
1/3 cup lime juice
4 tablespoons fish sauce
6 cloves garlic
Romaine Lettuce leaves

In a non-stick pan saut beef and garlic over medium for about 10 minutes, until thoroughly cooked. Put meat on a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients.

Serve with rice, placing large spoonfuls of each inside a lettuce leaf and eating it as you would a taco.

Cooking Tip: Nam pla, a primary ingredient in Thai cooking, is also called "fish sauce." You can find it in the Oriental cooking section in your local grocery.
