Directions: |
Directions:Use your largest skillet and fill with about 2 inches of oil. Heat on high. Test temp by placing one rice noodle in oil, if it pops right away and looks like styrofoam, then the oil is hot enough. Take a few noodles at a time and put in oil. Use tongs. Once they pop, turn them over to make sure all have cooked. Don't leave them too long or they start to brown. You just don't want any uncooked noodles (they are very hard). After all the noodles are cooked, drain on paper towels and then make a bed on your serving platter. In a little oil, cook chicken until done. Don't season. Chop finely. Put chicken, water chestnuts, garlic, and onions back in fry pan on high and toss with a little soy sauce, not too much just enough to season it a little. Place chicken mixture on bed of noodles.
Sauce: Start with about 1/3 cup special sauce in a serving bowl and just like at P.F. Chang's you are going to mix your own sauce for your lettuce wrap. The amounts I like are: 1 t. soy sauce, 1/4 t. hot chili oil, 1/2 t. chili paste, 1 t. regular white vinegar.
Place chicken mixture and noodles in a lettuce cup and top with your personal sauce and enjoy! These are served a little warmer than room temp at the restaurant. |

Notes: This is the Sater's version of P.F. Chang's lettuce wraps. These are wonderful and the sauce is very versatile, we also use it on stir fry noodles. When the kids were little, we did this recipe for Stacy Renon's birthday. Jeff was deployed and we wanted to do something special for Stacy. We had the whole house full of ladies and the garage was filled with children, it was a really fun day! You can do the noodles ahead and the chicken mixture ahead. Just heat it up before serving.
