Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons canola or peanut oil
  • 2 - 3 tablespoon peeled fresh ginger, grated (fresh is the key!)
  • 2 scallions, chopped (about a 1/4 cup)
  • 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts or 4-6 thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 8-oz can sliced water chestnuts, rinsed and coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup bottled hoisin sauce (highly recommend Lee Kum Kee brand)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted (prep in advance of starting recipe)
  • 12 large red or green-leaf lettuce leaves (or serve with rice!)

Directions
  1. This goes very fast!
  2. Heat a wok or a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat - then add oil.
  3. Add ginger and 2 tablespoons scallions and stir-fry until ginger is fragrant, about 45 seconds.
  4. Add small cubed chicken and stir-fry until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add water chestnuts, hoisin sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and toasted pine nuts and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute.
  6. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons scallions.
  7. Serve by spooning hoisin chicken into lettuce leaves or over rice.
  8. Original recipe found in Gourmet Magazine 2006 This is my adaptation. Enjoy!
