- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sriracha or other Asian chili sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium bowl, stir together ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons hot water, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sriracha, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until smooth. Set the peanut sauce aside.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground chicken, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon light soy sauce, ⅛ teaspoon white pepper (or ¼ teaspoon black pepper), and 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 20 minutes.
-
Step 3.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables: finely mince 2 shallots and 3 cloves garlic, finely dice ¾ cup water chestnuts, and stem and slice 2 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms. Also cook sticky rice if not already prepared.
-
Step 4.
In a wok or large skillet, combine 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, the minced shallots, and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Add the marinated chicken, diced water chestnuts, and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the wok. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 6 to 7 minutes.
-
Step 6.
Serve the stir-fried chicken alongside butter lettuce leaves, cooked sticky rice, and the prepared peanut sauce for dipping.
