Chinese-Chicken Lettuce Cups

As my daughter said, "these were awesome.” I’ve never had lettuce cups at a restaurant, but I’ve always meant to try them. Once you prep all your ingredients, it’s a breeze to put together. After we ate our first one my daughter suggested we add a few drops of Sriracha sauce and we enjoyed them that way, too. In fact, my daughter said she liked them better with the Sriracha. They’re a bit messy to eat, but so worth it. We minced everything with a knife instead of using the food processor, and I liked the texture this way. The cold, crisp lettuce was a perfect bed for the hot, cooked filling and the crunchy cashews. I couldn’t find unsalted cashews so I got lightly salted instead. I don’t have a wok but my trusty cast-iron skillet worked perfectly. I know we’ll be eating these again. We might add bean sprouts next time.
