Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon sambal oelek (chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (I use a paste)
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 green onions, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional – makes it more tangy)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional – helps the sauce thicken)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 lb. ground chicken or turkey
  • 1/2 cup lightly salted peanuts, chopped
  • 6 ounces rice noodles
  • 12 leaves of lettuce (I used Boston lettuce)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients, reserving some for drizzling later. Marinate the ground chicken and peanuts in the sauce for 15 minutes.
  2. Soak rice noodles in water until soft, then drain and cut into pieces.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken mixture and sauté for about 10 minutes until cooked through.

  5. Scoop the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves and top with cilantro, green onions, and reserved sauce before serving.
