One of my all time favorite places to go out for dinner is PF Chang’s. When I lived in New Jersey I went there often for a mom’s night out with my besties and every time we always ordered the amazing chicken lettuce wraps.

How do you keep lettuce wraps from falling apart?

It is important to use a lettuce that bends well. You also need to make sure that you are careful when you pull the leaves off the head of lettuce. When you are filling the lettuce wraps you also want to be kind of gentle, being rough with your leaves of lettuce will cause them to rip.

Which lettuce is Best for Wraps

When making these lettuce wraps my favorite lettuce to use is bib lettuce. However if you are not a fan or you don’t have any on hand you can totally use iceburg lettuce, romaine lettuce, greenleaf lettuce or butterhead lettuce.

The important thing is to make sure the lettuce leaves are large enough to fill and fold over in a wrap form.

How do you cut lettuce for wraps?

It is actually very easy to cut lettuce for wraps. Cut off the bottom part of the lettuce. Carefully pull off each piece of lettuce and then wash and dry the lettuce.

How to Make PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps

In a wok or skillet on high heat cook the chicken, onions, mushrooms, and green onions until the pink is almost gone with a tablespoon of oil.

Then add in the bean sprouts and water chestnuts, garlic and the ginger and cook the rest of the way till brown.

Once cooked turn heat down to medium heat and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut butter, hoisin sauce, sesame garlic sauce, rice vinegar, honey in a bowl and microwave for 20-3o seconds (until you can mix it well so it is smooth.

Pour into skillet and stir into meat mixture and let cook for about 5 minutes to get all the flavors mixed and cooked well. If it is really thick add in some water 1 tablespoon at a time, you want there to be a little run to it but not liquidy, you do not want your meat mixture to be clumping together.

While it is finishing cooking rinse your lettuce and rip the leaves off and set aside on a plate. Then take the peanuts and put in a zip lock bag and beat them with a spoon until they are crushed (you can use a food processor if you would like to).

Then add in your peanuts to your meat and stir well, let cook for about 3 more minutes to get the peanuts warm with the rest of the mixture.

Remove from stove and put into a bowl.

Scoop a large spoonful of meat mixture into a lettuce leaf and wrap.
