• Set 2 to 3 tablespoons green onions aside for garnish. Combine remaining green onions, water chestnuts, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Sriracha, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground chicken, garlic, and sesame oil. Cook and stir until chicken is crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add hoisin mixture to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fill lettuce leaves with chicken mixture and top with reserved green onions.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to form a smooth paste and set aside.
• Warm the peanut oil in a skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and white parts of the scallion and stir-fry until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently until it breaks into small pieces and is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
• Add the chili sauce, hoisin, and soy sauce, stirring to combine and evenly distribute the ingredients. Add the reserved cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce is clear. Finish with the reserved scallion greens, pear matchsticks, and a splash of sesame oil.
• To serve: Place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the middle of a lettuce leaf with a few cilantro leaves, if desired. Wrap the lettuce around the contents and eat.

Steps:

• Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over MED heat and add the onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
• Add the chicken breast pieces and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Mix the garlic and ginger paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, tomato paste, rice vinegar, sriracha, hoisin sauce and chili paste together in a small mixing bowl.
• In another small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth.
• Once the chicken has cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken and stir. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth/cornstarch mixture and stir.
• Reduce the heat to MED LOW and let the sauce simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until thickened to your liking.
• Stir in the peanuts, then remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Keep in mind the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Lay the lettuce on a plate, add some filing to the middle, then garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions and serve.
