INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger or 1 t ground ginger
2 cups shredded red cabbage or Napa cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 cup bean sprouts
2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 (8-oz) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 head butter tip or red leaf lettuce

- Stir in chicken, hoisin sauce, and water chestnuts. Place filling on whole lettuce leaves and roll up.
