Ingredients
  

Chicken Mixture:

  • 1 ½ pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, coarsely chopped
  • 1 8 ounce can water chestnuts, drained and minced
  • 1 cup diced shiitake mushroom caps
  • ½ cup minced yellow onion
  • ⅓ cup chopped green onion
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar

Glaze:

  • ¼ cup chicken stock
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or to taste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh basil or to taste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped green onion or to taste
  • 16 leaves iceberg lettuce or as needed

Instructions
 

  • Step 1
  • Stir chicken, water chestnuts, mushrooms, yellow onion, 1/3 cup green onion, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ginger, and 2 teaspoons brown sugar together in a bowl. Pat mixture down, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Step 2
  • Whisk chicken stock, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ketchup, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and dry mustard together in a bowl until glaze is well-mixed.
  • Step 3
  • Heat vegetable oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook and stir chicken mixture in hot oil until chicken no longer looks raw, about 2 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the glaze mixture into chicken mixture; cook and stir over high heat until chicken begins to caramelize and brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Step 4
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, pour remaining glaze into chicken mixture, and cook until heated through and slightly reduced, about 3 minutes more. Stir in cilantro, basil, and 1 1/2 tablespoons green onion. Transfer chicken mixture to a bowl and serve with lettuce leaves to wrap.
