Instructions
1 Prep
- Drain and finely chop the water chestnuts.
- Trim the spring onion and finely chop.
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth, (don't wash them), and either finely chop them into small pieces using a knife, or add to a food processor and pulse 3-4 times until they are chopped into small pieces.
2 Make sauce
- In a bowl, mix 1 tsp of corn starch with the measured water.
- Add the hoisin sauce, ginger garlic paste, chinese chilli sauce (spicy!), rice vinegar, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
- Mix well and set aside - This is your Chinese sauce.
Tip! Sensitive to spice? Omit the Chinese chilli sauce, or use only a small amount.
3 Fry
- Heat a large pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry the mushrooms and water chestnuts for 4-5 min until the water from the mushrooms has evaporated.
4 Add chicken
- Add the chicken mince and half the spring onions. Fry for 4-5 min until cooked through.
- Add the sauce and cook for 2 min further until most of the sauce has reduced, and the mixture has thickened.
- Turn off the heat, and set aside.
5 Prep
- Meanwhile, separate the lettuce leaves.
- Trim the top and bottom ends, then cut each leaf in half.
6 Serve
- Spoon the chicken and mushroom mixture over the lettuce.
- Garnish with the remaining spring onions.
- Serve the Chinese Chicken and Mushroom Lettuce Bites with Water Chestnuts.
Tip! In a hurry? Turn this into a one bowl salad by finely shredding the lettuce and adding the chicken and mushroom mixture on top.
