- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 small onion, diced
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch ginger root, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped and separated for the green & white parts
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 can water chestnuts
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
- sriracha sauce to taste
- dash white pepper
- head of butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce
- package of rice noodles
- 1 1/2 cup avocado oil
Instructions
- On medium heat add 1 tbsp of oil to a skillet. Once the skillet is hot, add ground chicken continually breaking up the chicken as it cooks. When the ground chicken is cooked through, push the ground chicken to the outer perimeter of the skillet forming a circle in the middle. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and white parts of the green onion to the skillet. Stir around in the center and cook until soft, then incorporate onion mixture into the ground chicken
- Push the ground chicken mixture back to the outer perimeter of the skillet again, then pour the sesame oil to the center of the pan and add in the shiitake mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms until tender and incorporate them into the chicken mixture. Add in the water chestnuts and combine with the ground chicken mixture
- Pour in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and white pepper. Stir together until all the meat is coated with sauce. Add in the green parts of the green onion and stir until combined
- In a pan heat the remaining avocado oil. Once the avocado oil is hot, gently place the rice noodles into the pan to fry. This will only take seconds for the rice noodles to puff up and be done. Remove rice noodles and place on a paper towel lined plate
- Prep the butter lettuce and serve with the ground chicken mixture and rice noodles. Enjoy
