Oriental Lettuce Wraps

In a large pot, cook ramen noodles (including seasoning packets) in the water, breaking each packet of Ramen into small pieces. Do not follow instructions on package, instead cook with seasonings until al dente. Then drain and rinse with cold water.

Prepare the cucumbers and carrots and set aside for later. Slice green onions. Slice tops and bottoms of bell peppers and chop. Cut remaining pepper (the middles) into thin strips and refrigerate until serving time.

Place noodles, cooked and chopped chicken, chopped bell pepper (remember, tops and bottoms only) and green onions in a large bowl. Stir to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and cayenne pepper. Pour over noodle mixture and stir to coat. Refrigerate until serving time.

Thoroughly wash lettuce leaves, being careful not to tear and pat them dry.

To serve, fill individual lettuce leaves with noodle mixture and top with cucumber, pepper strips and carrot shreds. Drizzle with soy and or sweet and sour sauce.
