Ji Song ~ 鸡松 ~ a Chinese Hors d'oeuvre ~ Chicken Lettuce Wrap ~ Method #1

This is one of my favorite dishes, but it is often sooo over-priced at restaurants and really, it's quite simple to make at home . . .

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp. oil

3-5 green onions, finely sliced

1/2 cup celery (diced, optional)

1 can water chestnuts (diced, optional)

2 lbs. ground turkey, chicken, or pork

2 1/2 tsp. Demarle At Home Herb Blend (of choice ~ I prefer something w/garlic in it.)

1/2 tsp. salt

4 cups steamed white rice (optional)

1 or 2 heads of lettuce of choice

Hoisin Sauce

Cilantro for garnish (optional)

Tools:

~ Large Flared Saute Pan

~ Polyamide Spatula

~ Cooling Rack

~ Bamboo Cutting Board

~ Demarle Difference Paring Knife

~ Magnetic Measuring Trio

Method #1

Heat oil in pan on medium heat; add green onions; saute for approx. 1 min. Add next four ingredients and saute until cooked through and/or browned; drain (the juice makes a really good soup base; so you might want to keep it! Email me if you'd like to know how to make great soup with it!).

Note: you can make steamed rice in the microwave using your Round Mold (any size) and Octagonal Silpat!

Spoon rice onto lettuce leaf, then a layer of meat mixture, and top off with a drizzle of hoisin sauce and garnish with cilantro. Enjoy!
