AMAZING! First attempt ever at making Lettuce Wraps. This gets 10 stars for ease and simplicity AND taste! Reading the other reviews I did add 3 Tablespoons minced onion and 1/2 tsp sesame oil to the chicken and water chestnuts (for our personal tastes). As a garnish I topped with freshly grated carrots and a little Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. DELISH! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe!

I did not use noodles (or rice) I added sesame oil, spring onions, bean sprouts, chopped bamboo shoots and ginger and garlic. Did not use water chestnuts but added the bean sprouts at the last moment as suggested by another reviewer so they stayed crunchy. Did not need to find a thick teriyaki as I found that the cornstarch was quite enough to hold the mixture together as it cooked. I used Boston Lettuce (which handles lettuce wraps much easier) and THEN I used the meager leftovers to make fried rice!

<p><br />I'm a veterinary technician with an animal shelter in Chicago. I take care of approximately 150 cats and 20 dogs on any one day in the rehabilitation unit. It's a good feeling job. <br /><br />I've been married to a keeper who I just celebrated my 13th anniversary with.
