Lettuce Wraps--By turia Larsen

I got this recipe form turia a long time ago..Amy asked for it for her dinner club tonight. These are really good and simple.

Sauce (for spooning over wraps)
1/4 C sugar
1/2 c water
2 T soy sauce
2 T rice vinegar
1 T lemon juice
2 t water
1-3 t red chili paste

Stir Fry

2 T soy sauce
2 T brown sugar
1/2 t rice vinegar
1 C rice noodles (fried maifun noodles)
2 chicken breasts
1 C minced water chestnuts
3 T chopped green onion
1 t minced garlic
4-5 sliced iceberg lettuce cups

1. Make dipping sauce by dissolving the 1/4 C sugar and 1/2 C water in a bowl.
2. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, lemon, and chili paste. Mix well and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
3. Prepare stir fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar in a bowl.
4. Mince the chicken into pieces no larger than a dime.
5. Mince water chestnuts to about the size of a pea.
6. bring 2-3 T oil to high heat ina wok or large skillet. Add chicken and cook for about two -three minutes.
7. Add water chestnuts, onions, and stir fry sauce and cook another 3 minutes.
8. Serve on a bed of Maifun noodles and scoop into lettuce cups
(Maifun noodles can be found in the Asian foods section. The oil has to be hot enough (400') for them to turn white and puffy)

Enjoy!!!
