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 only had ground turkey instead of ground chicken and the recipe came out amazing!! First time trying these two! Thank you for sharing, will be eating these weekly! Ha!
We LOVE these and have made them numerous times. They are delicious and super easy to make. They are even toddler approved!!
Awesome I have made this so many times and always a hit! Everyone wants the recipe. And it easy!
These are AMAZING. I make them once a week, and double the recipe and there are only two of us I don’t even measure anymore I have made it so much. I add 2 giant handfuls of spinach, chopped, at the end, mix and let wilt, for a little extra nutrients. Favorite recipe in my arsenal.
Wow. I was just looking for a random lettuce wrap recipe and google took me to this one – my country doesn’t have PF Chang’s so I was going in blind – and I’m glad I did. It was utterly delicious! I made it with ground pork because it’s either that or beef in the stores here, but I can see it would be amazing with chopped chicken thighs, crumbled tofu or even green lentils. I upped the ginger and the green onions amd used a yellow chili sauce because that was the only pepper paste we could find. This filling was perfect with the lettuce but I could see it being a nice indulgence on rice or tossed into lo mein or egg noodles or wrapped with glass noodles in a rice paper square or if the liquid was evaporated more it could be used as dumpling filling. I can see many options for this one, so thank-you for putting it out on the interwebs.
My sons and I LOVE this recipe! I make it often and take it to work for lunch with a side of fruit. I use ground turkey in mine.
This is so quick and easy to make! It is so light and refreshing that me and my boyfriend eat the whole thing ourselves. He has said multiple times that this is the best thing I’ve made him.
The last time I made it I added peppers and jalapenos from our garden and it was delicious.
Okay, these are really, reeeealy good, lol. I am pretty particular with this specific lettuce wrap recipe as I have eaten it at PF Changes way more times than i’d like to admit 😉 I do adjust this recipe by using pork when I am feeling like something closer to the original, but it’s still REALLY good with ground turkey. The one suggestion I would give is for people to use a wok if they have it/ It’s hard to replace that smokey, umami-ish ‘breath of the wok’ flavor without cooking in a wok under very high heat.
This is straight up the best! Forget the lettuce! I could eat the chicken filing just by itself – all of it in one sitting, but incredible self restraint but be employed to avoid excessive calorie consumption. BWT, what are the nutrition details for this amazing delish dish?
good.
Love this recipe! Always looking for ways to incorporate veggies, so I added finely diced red & green pepper plus diced mushrooms (I cook these down before adding to chicken). I added some brown rice for texture and to stretch the mixture for feeding a bunch of people. The sauce is so good!
These are amazing. I sometimes add a dash more of the rice vinegar because I like the acidity, and make this in double batches. It usually doesn’t last more that 48 hours. My husband asks for this meal regularly. It’s SO good.
Can’t wait to cook. Its looks amazing.
Damn delicious for sure!!!
Absolutely love this recipe!! Easy and delicious Always come back to this one and won’t use any other.
Tastes like the real deal, really clear instructions. 10/10!
My go-To recipe. I make this all the time and it is still my favorite, easy, recipe! Thank you.
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.
