Instructions
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce or tamari, water, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and if desired, the sriracha or gochujang. This mix is your flavor base.
- Set pressure cooker to sauté and pour in olive oil. When hot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add ground chicken and break up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour in sauce mixture, stir to coat chicken evenly. Close lid and set pressure cooker to high pressure for 5 minutes.
- After cooking, do a slow release to keep chicken tender and sauce thickened.
- Open lid, stir chicken, then fold in diced water chestnuts and ¼ cup chopped green onion.
- Spoon saucy chicken mixture into lettuce cups and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve immediately in fresh lettuce cups. Store chicken mixture separately from lettuce for best freshness. Leftovers keep in fridge up to 3 days; lettuce cups not recommended to store assembled.
