Let's go
- Chop and prepare all ingredients.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, chile paste, rice wine vinegar, agave, and peanut butter.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add in the diced onions, stirring and allowing to become translucent, for about 5 minutes. Add in the peppers
- Add in the ground chicken.
- Allow to cook, stirring occasionally, so the chicken begins to brown and break up easily. Cook for about 7 minutes.
- Add in the soy sauce mixture, stirring to coat the chicken and vegetables.
- Allow to simmer for 5 – 7 minutes, until liquid begins to absorb and caramelize.
- Take off the heat and prepare the toppings.
- Place chicken on platter with the lettuce wraps, hoisin sauce, and other toppings. Serve with rice noodles if you’d prefer to make this a heartier dish.
