Bon Appétit shares a recipe for spicy chicken lettuce wraps, a long-time reader favorite inspired by larb. The dish features crumbled chicken with a savory-sweet and spicy sauce, served with lettuce leaves, herbs, and fried shallots.
The recipe, which takes approximately 20 minutes to prepare, combines ground chicken with a sauce made from 3 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce, 2 Tbsp. light or dark brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. sriracha, and 2 tsp. fish sauce. The sauce is mixed and set aside before the chicken is cooked with 6 thinly sliced scallions and 4 finely chopped garlic cloves in 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil.
After the chicken is cooked through (5–7 minutes), the reserved sauce is added and cooked until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. The dish is served with Bibb lettuce leaves, mint and/or cilantro, lime wedges, and store-bought fried shallots. Substitutions for the chicken include ground pork, beef, turkey, or lamb; for fattier meats, reduce the initial oil to 1½ Tbsp. The recipe can be made gluten-free by swapping soy sauce for tamari or liquid aminos. The recipe yields 2 servings and can be served with steamed jasmine or coconut rice, or as a rice bowl by serving the chicken mixture over rice.
