Okay, now to make a yummy dinner with the rotisserie chicken while using an Asian flare. I decided to make Kung Pao Lettuce Wraps. Now people I know my rule is that the kids eat what I cook but tonight I wanted extra spicy kung pao so Ellie and Sophie got mac and cheese (which they enjoyed of course).
Kung Pao Lettuce Wraps
serves 2 (makes about 8 wraps)
2 stalks of celery chopped
1/2 red onion chopped
1/4 cup peanuts
1 cup cooked chicken chopped (I used the rotisserie of course)
8 leaves from your favorite lettuce (i went with romaine but Scott said he would have preferred iceberg with its NO nutritional content)
1 packet of kung pao mix (mix it up according to directions: usually adding sugar, soy sauce, and water) and set aside.
a few sprigs of cilantro
1/2 cup red cabbage
chile garlic sauce if you want more spice
In a large skillet heated to med/high and sprayed with Pam, stir fry the first 4 ingredients. When the celery and onions are softened add in the kung pao mix already made according to directions. Continue to cook on medium heat until the sauce thickens.
When sauce is thick (about 10-15 min) serve on the crisp cold lettuce leaves. Top the meat mixture with red cabbage and cilantro.
I made white rice and Asian cole slaw. Asian cole slaw is just cole slaw mix tossed in Sesame salad dressing and it's super. Scott loved this one and thought it would also make an awesome app to take to a party.
