Instructions

Sauté Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add Aromatics: Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Cook Chicken: Add ground chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart continuously to ensure even cooking.
Season Meat: Mix in soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili paste, and sesame oil. Stir and cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and coat the chicken evenly.
Finish Filling: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped green onions and cilantro for fresh herbal notes.
Assemble Wraps: Spoon the flavorful chicken mixture into romaine lettuce leaves, wrapping them up tightly. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispness of the lettuce with the warm filling.

Notes

For added crunch, consider topping the filling with chopped water chestnuts or diced bell peppers.
To make it spicier, increase the amount of chili paste or add chili flakes according to taste.
Can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey or pork as alternatives.
Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
Serve with a side of steamed rice or noodles for a more filling meal.
