Korean Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Korean Chicken Lettuce Wraps
There are days when we crave something warm and full of flavor, yet still light enough to feel refreshing. That is exactly why we love these Korean Chicken Lettuce Wraps. They have everything we enjoy in Korean cooking: tender chicken, our rich, spicy-sweet Korean sauce, crisp vegetables, and the simple pleasure of wrapping everything by hand.
Ingredients
Servings: 2 | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 15 min
- 250–300 g boneless chicken thigh or breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp Bibap Manufacture Korean Spicy Chicken Sauce
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/2 small onion, sliced (optional)
- 1/2 small zucchini or bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 8–10 lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or romaine)
- 1/2 cup cooked short-grain rice (optional)
- Kimchi or pickled radish (optional but delicious)
- Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Sliced green onions or shiso leaves (optional)
Preparation
- We begin by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces if we haven’t done so already. We toss the pieces with Bibap’s Korean Chicken Sauce and let them rest while we prepare the vegetables. Even a few minutes are enough for the flavour to settle in.
- When everything is ready, we heat a little oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. We add the chicken and any vegetables we want to include, then stir-fry for several minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce turns thick and glossy.
- To assemble the wraps, we place a spoonful of the warm chicken into each lettuce leaf. If we like, we add a bit of rice, some kimchi, or a slice of pickled radish for extra crunch and brightness. We finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a few green onions on top.
- We fold the lettuce like a small taco or wrap and enjoy them while they are warm. We like serving everything on a platter so everyone can build their own.
