Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps Are a Real Weeknight Winner
Chicken lettuce wraps might seem like the sort of thing best left to dinners out, but they are actually quite easy to make at home. The trick is making sure that all your prep work is done before you start cooking, down to setting out the lettuce leaves, dipping sauce, and chopped cashews (for sprinkling atop each bundle). Sure, it involves a bit of chopping (or rather, mincing), but it's the sort of meditative prep work that will help melt away the day's stresses. All in all, it's a pretty quick process, making for a great weeknight option.
