Easy Asian chicken lettuce wraps!

Here comes a two thumbs up recipe!

I didn’t quite know what to expect for this chicken lettuce wrap dish, because I only just found this recipe from a Korean coobook I bought about a month ago. What is more, I didn’t have the right amount of ingredients as it stated, so I had to change a lot of it. Lucky I have a good imagination! I just guessed what I could add more of by looking at its colour. 🙂

When I had the first bite of the chicken lettuce wraps, it was a full of surprise. It was really delicious. Of course, the fact that we were so hungry helped us appreciate the food even more, yet there was something special about it.

It tasted slightly salty yet the occasional walnuts added a savory taste and crunchy texture. I added too much chicken breast compared to the other ingredients, so the rarely spotted shrimps were a nice surprise too.

Anyway, hope you try this soon!
