Step-by-Step Instructions

Dice the Chicken & Mushrooms: Start by finely dicing the chicken thighs and shiitake mushrooms. I mean, it’s okay if the chicken isn’t perfectly uniform; rustic is good here!
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat. You want it hot but not smoking, just enough to give it that sizzle!
Sauté Garlic & Ginger: Add in your minced garlic and grated ginger oh, the aroma should be heavenly! Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn, until fragrant and the garlic is just starting to color.
Cook the Chicken: Toss in the diced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned and cooked through. Be sure to season this step with a couple pinches of salt and pepper for that essential flavor.
Add Mushrooms & Sauces: Next, stir in the shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and that sauce is getting sticky and delicious!
Prepare the Wrappers: While that’s happening, wash your butter lettuce leaves and pat them dry. They’re your little edible bowls!
Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the chicky mixture into the center of each butter lettuce leaf. Don’t be shy, pack it in a bit!
Garnish & Serve: Top with crispy fried rice noodles and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for that fresh crunch. Serve immediately and watch everyone dive in!
