Chinese Style Chicken and Sausage Lettuce Cups Recipe
Chinese Style Chicken and Sausage Lettuce Cups

This recipe is based on the Cantonese Style Squab lettuce cups that I have had at this Chinese Restaurant in Queens, NY. The chinese sausage is key to keeping the flavor from being too bland. Other ingredients can be added or substitutes based on taste and availability. Sometimes I add in half a can of corn, half a green pepper, or a stalk of celery. I have also substituted the chicken for ground turkey or pork. You can also add lemongrass for a more Thai flavor. Keep trying it until you find the right taste balance for you!

How Do I Make Chinese Style Chicken and Sausage Lettuce Cups?

Here is how you make Chinese Style Chicken and Sausage Lettuce Cups:

1. Rinse chicken and cut up into small pieces. I usually use scissors to cut up the chicken. Pieces should be unevenly cut and quite small. Smaller than bite sized.2. Marinate the chicken with the 3tbs of oyster sauce, and soy sauce. Set aside or refrigerate, depending how soon you will cook.3. Chop up veggies (scallions, water chestnuts, red onion, shallot) into small pieces, similar to the size of the chicken. Place in bowl.4. Add pinenuts, minced garlic and ginger to the bowl of veggies.5. Chop up Chinese Sausages, again small. Add to veggie bowl as they are precooked.6. Using a wok or large frying pan add canola and sesame oil. Heat on medium high until sizzling.7. Cook veggies and sausage in oil for about 3-5 minutes. You want them to retain their crispness, but not be raw. 8. Remove veggies from pan, and store in their bowl again.9. Add a bit more oil to the pan if necessary. Cook chicken, stirring frequently. Should cook in 2-3 minutes since pieces are very small.10. Once chicken is cooked, add veggies and sausage back into the pan with the chicken, cook for another minute or so, until well heated and mixed.11. Place finished mixture into bowl for serving.12. Separate lettuce into individual leaves. Wash each leaf well. Pay dry and store on plate.13. Spoon a bit of hoisin sauce onto the lettuce leaf, then scoop some of the chicken/veggie mixture onto the leaf and enjoy!
