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?

I always make 2 batches. One with boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked & chopped finely. And one with pan-fried & chopped tofu for the vegetarians in my family. It’s a hit both ways! Everyone LOVES it!!
Delicious! Just as I remember it
Easy & great tasting!!!
I found this recipe a few years ago and it has been my go to for a quick and easy meal prep! It’s so delicious!! Everyone who has tried it has fallen in love with it.
Just made these for the first time. Personally I added slightly less fresh ginger. They are really good! A new staple in our rotation.
This receipt is Spot on!!!!! So good I’ve made it a hundred times
Hi,
I just stumbled across this delicious sounding recipe? I was wondering if I could substitute the ground chicken for ground turkey breast?
I’ve used turkey, and it’s still great!
a beautiful meal and so easy! the perfect way to use up a ton of our garden lettuce. only change I made was using slightly less hoisin, a little more rice vinegar, and a modest drizzling of dark soy sauce.
my main tip is to let it cool a bit before serving. piping hot, it wilts the lettuce. but when it’s warm (not stovetop-hot) it kind of congeals and gets super saucy and easy to serve.
I’ve made this many times, and never gotten remotely close to making it in 20 minutes. It’s still a great meal the kids love. I recommend gochujang instead of sriracha if you want to mix it up.
Super easy recipe that copycats PF Changs! You can substitute any of the veggies mentioned for what you have in the fridge. Just adjust cooking time! Carrots, bamboo shoots, chopped spinach or Bok Choy, even corn or bean sprouts! Great with a peanut dipping sauce or your own homemade concoction!
Is it better to use ground chicken thighs or chicken tenders. I grind my own chicken.
Grind it cooked to uncooked first?
I’m soooooo picky… former restaurant owner and lifelong cook and foodie. This is my go-to for quick, easy homemade deliciciousness. I serve mine over brown rice and double the sauce per hubs’ preference. Dammed DELISH!!!Thank you!
wow, that was deeeeelicious! No need to go to PF Changs for lettuce wraps
Excellent, flavorful with fresh ginger, fresh garlic, fresh green onions, fresh onion,
fresh butter lettuce wrap. I favorite light and amazing meal. Make it often.
This recipe is great. Quick tip if you want it to be even lower carb. Use a low/zero carb hot sauce (Asian variety, not a vinegary Louisiana style). You can still use sriracha if you want but if you follow the rest of the ingredients below you may find you don’t need it. Skip the hoisin and add a dash of fish sauce to get a little of that umami you’re missing and brown sugar Swerve for the sweetness at the end (add a teaspoon at a time to reach the sweetness you want) Skip the water chestnuts and use celery but don’t cook until the last minute so they stay crunchy. The carbs will go down to almost zero. It’s delicious both ways. Bon Appetit!
Made it. Loved it. Wished I could post a picture of it.
Such an easy, delicious recipe! Definitely a new staple. Thanks for sharing:)
Tried it added the hot spice it was delicious and I did taste just like P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps but I think a little better
10/10 would recommend! I wish we doubled the recipe so we could eat more! It was so yummy, will definitely be making it again in the very near future!!
Perfect every time! Restaurant quality recipe here.
