1. 1
   prep

   1.Wash the butter lettuce head, carefully separate the leaves, and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

   2.In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper.

   TIPChoose large, cup-shaped inner leaves for the best wraps — they hold the filling without breaking.
2. 2
   saute

   Cook the chicken and aromatics.

   1.Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

   2.Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink (5-6 min).

   3.Push the chicken to one side and add diced onion, garlic, and ginger to the cleared space.

   4.Cook aromatics until fragrant and onions are translucent (2-3 min).

   TIPDon't overcrowd the pan — browning the chicken adds deep flavor.
