You don’t have to ground your own chicken. I’m just thrifty (I don’t want to pay $5 a pound because it’s ground). Grind it and put in the fridge. We got chopping to do.

• 

Chop onion, garlic, and water chestnuts. Grate ginger. Set them aside.

• 

Heat oil in pan over medium heat. Cook chicken till there is just no pink. Making sure to chop it as finely as possible.

Stir in onions, garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and sriracha. Cook for 2 minutes, or until onions become translucent. Add the chestnuts and 1/2 the green onion. Salt and pepper to taste. Sir in. Time wrap it up.

Carefully pull off leaves from the butter lettuce head, and place on plate. If they are really thin you might want to double them up. Add a little rice. Then pile some of the chicken mixture on top. Sprinkle with remaining green onions. Enjoy!
