Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I found this recipe from my friend Sophia. My changes are in parenthesis.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground chicken breast (or substitute ground beef/pork/turkey etc)
1/2 medium purple onion, minced (I have to keep onion separate as the men in our home do not partake of onions under any circumstances, unless I can blenderize it until they know no differently)
salt and pepper
2 large cloves of garlic (I am garlic girl and added 3-4 cloves)
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (I keep fresh ginger in the freezer for stuff like this)

Directions:

Heat the chicken, onion, salt and pepper in a large non-stick skillet or wok.  Cook until the chicken is done.  (Since I had a pre-cooked chicken, I sautéed the onions in a tablespoon of oil, then added the chicken and cooked it a bit more.) Add the garlic and ginger and continue cooking until the onions and chicken are cooked. 

In a separate bowl, mix the following. ingredients that are listed. Then put it in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds until you can stir it until it's smooth. (I like to use a saucepan and warm it up slowly and evenly)

 

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. sesame oil
2 1/2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp.  water
1 Tbsp. peanut butter
1/2 Tbsp. honey
4 tsp. Rice Vinegar
1/2 tsp. chili garlic sauce
dash fresh pepper

Directions:

Pour this sauce over the skillet mixture and stir.
Then:

Ingredients:

3 green onions
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
12 outer Lettuce Leaves

Directions:

Add chopped green onion and peanuts, the cook until the green onions are soft.. Then just put everything together.
