A copycat recipe that you can easily make right at home in just 20 minutes. And it tastes a million times better too!
I am such a sucker for lettuce wraps. They are so low in carbs so I become a bottomless pit, stuffing my face without any kind of guilt. And when it’s an exact PF Chang’s replica that can be made in 20 minutes or less – well, that just means I’m having this 5 times a week.
I kid you not. This is the easiest, quickest meal you could ever make. And if you’re quick in the kitchen, you could even get this on the dinner table in less than 15 minutes. Plus, it’s budget-friendly and you can easily double or triple the recipe as needed. What more could you ask for?

Love this recipe! I double it and it’s all gone!
Family loves it!
Amazing. This recipe was so delicious. I highly recommend.
I found this recipe last year when I was looking for something different to do with Thanksgiving turkey leftovers. It was so good – even with diced leftover turkey that I tried it a couple of weeks later with the ground chicken and it was exactly like PF Chang’s! I’ve incorporated this into our regular rotation, even somethimes using it as a main dish with rice and steamed veggies on the side.
The recipe is perfect as is, but I can’t leave well enough alone so I substitute chili garlic sauce for the sriracha and throw in some diced mushrooms.
Great recipe! Super flavor & consistency.
Yum! I used gluten free hoisin and soy sauce. Easy quick and delicious.
So good! The right type of lettuce has been hard to find I recently served with rice and my hubby loved it! My boys like to put it in a tortilla instead of lettuce. It’s also great the next day served with mixed greens, sliced cucumbers, tomato’s and a rice vinegrette.
I just made this and it is EXACTLY like Chang’s. It’s delicious!
Super quick and easy to make! Very delicious, highly recommend. I substituted the soy for coconut aminos.
So very flavorful. Better than a restaurant. We like to use those fried rice stick noodles on top. My daughter requests it weekly! Delish. Thanks for the recipe!
SO YUMMY and FRESH! This is a regular dinner meal my husband and I prepare. It is easy, fresh and sooo delicious! I prefer it over PF Chang’s actually.
Fantastic! Easy, quick and super delicious. We needed to use up what ginger we had, so put in a little more than was called for and it was still great. We were also out of Sriracha, so I substituted 1 generous teaspoon of Gochujang and it gave it the perfect “warmth” for my wife who does not do spicy very well. This is definitely what we call “a keeper”, and thank you so much for making this recipe available!
Delish! Mine came out a little dry, I used ground turkey, so I added a couple Tbsp of chicken broth to moisten it a little! Yummy, thanks for posting it
DELICIOUS! My hubs and I really enjoyed this for dinner, along with Pot Stickers (frozen from supermarket) on a hot summer evening. Cut ginger by 1/2, as we like a lighter ginger flavor. Also garnished with additional sliced green onions, because we love them. This recipe will be in our rotation.
Tried this tonight with diced chicken thighs (cut quite small) and everyone loved it! I was hoping for leftovers for work, but I guess I’ll have to pack something else!
It’ll be one of my go-to meals from here in out!
The most incredible lettuce wraps I’ve ever had! I think they’re better than PF Chang’s and so budget friendly!!
Family loves lettuce wraps. Thanks for the recipe. Easy to make and to serve. I used Romaine lettuce as my wrap.
I often use your cookbook.
This is delicious! I have made it several times. The only problem I have is finding the right type of lettuce that doesn’t become difficult to handle. Any suggestions on something else to put the chicken in? Thank you!
Made as directed except used ground turkey as that’s what I had on hand. Very good, quick and easy. thank you.
Can you please share best subsititute to chicken in this recipe
I’d double the water chestnuts and substitute more chopped mushrooms for the chicken.
More crunch and more umami meaty mushroom flavor.
If you were looking for another meat that isn’t chicken, try 90/10 ground beef.
I’ve made this recipe several times using soy curls (hydrated and roughly chopped) instead of chicken. I would guess you could similarly veganize with tvp or crumbled tofu.
Absolutely delicious! Definitely a favorite.
