Asian Lettuce Wraps

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 pound of ground chicken
2 tablespoons of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of minced ginger
2/3 cup Teriyaki sauce (I used the low sodium one)
Boston lettuce leaves, rinsed and dried
Vegetables for filling (you can use which ever ones you prefer) - grated carrots, bean sprouts, julienne cucumber, water chestnuts and/or edamame)
Hoisin sauce (found in the Asian section of your grocery store)

Heat oil in a large skillet and brown the ground chicken.  Add garlic and saute briefly.  Add Teriyaki sauce and simmer for 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.  Then in another large skillet add a touch more oil and the ginger and saute briefly, then add all the vegetables to the skillet, once veggies have been in the pan for about 3 to 4 minutes add the ground chicken to the vegetables.  Let the flavors marinate together.  Then place the filling in the center of a large platter and surround with the lettuce leaves.  Serve with Hoisin sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!!!!
