Asian Chicken Lettuce Rolls
Our Asian Chicken Lettuce wraps showcase a new blend, General Tso’s Secret. This blend is savory and garlicky and a little bit funky, and full of umami so it can complement a wide range of foods. We decided to pair it with Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps in order to experience the way General Tso's Secret plays with chicken, as well as with the crisp textures of water chestnuts and cucumbers. If you have other vegetables you'd rather use, then by all means do!
We cooked our chicken in red chili oil because we are crazy about spicy food here. If you want to tone it down use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil.
