Chinese take out made at home
I love it when I find restaurant-style
recipes that I can
make at home. I love to eat
out, but it is not something
we can do all the time.
I used to live way too close
to a PF Chang’s. The lettuce
wraps are to die for. It was always
way too easy to call on
my way home from work and
order take out.
I was really excited to find a recipe for similar
wraps. It is easy to make and freezes really
well. I liked that I could freeze individual
portions for myself when I lived alone.
Lettuce Wraps
1 teaspoon sesame oil or other oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups minced cremini mushrooms
1 cup minced shiitake mushroom caps
1 pound ground chicken breast
3 cups shredded napa (Chinese) cabbage
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 8-ounce can water chestnuts,
(drained and minced)
1 cup minced green onions
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
24 Boston or iceberg lettuce leaves
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over
medium heat. Add garlic, and cook for two
minutes. Add mushrooms and chicken; cook
for eight minutes, stirring occasionally. Add
shredded cabbage, salt, crushed red pepper,
and water chestnuts; cook for five minutes or
until cabbage wilts. Remove from heat, and
stir in onions, oyster sauce, soy sauce and
cilantro. Spoon about three tablespoons chicken
mixture into each lettuce leaf.
I don’t always use the napa cabbage; regular
cabbage works greats in my opinion. I usually
don’t have sesame oil on hand either so

olive or vegetable works too.
Sweet and Sour chicken is another chinese
favorite. This recipe was easy to make and really
tasty.
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Chicken breading:
3-5 chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup canola oil
Rinse chicken, trim off fat or extras and
then cut into one inch cubes. Season with salt
and pepper. Dip chicken into cornstarch and
coat all the way and then into eggs. Heat oil in
large skillet. Cook chicken until browned.
Place in baking dish.
Sauce:
3/4 cups white sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Whisk until smooth. Then pour evenly over
chicken. Turn chicken so the sauce gets on
both sides and then put in the oven at 350 degrees
for 15 minutes. Turn chicken and then
cook for 15 more minutes.
I shouldn’t write before lunch. This was so
good, it is making me hungry. I think I know
what we are having for dinner tonight.
