These are usually an appetizer, but they work great for dinner too. The added rice makes it filling, the peanuts give it a great crunch, and the sweet and savory flavors really make the dish.
Heat a large frying pan or wok with 3 Tablespoons of oil on high heat and saute the chicken breasts. Remove the chicken and cut into small, bite-size pieces.
Prepare the Minute Rice per package instructions (1 cup rice to 1 cup water). I like to do mine in the microwave for 6 minutes.
For the sauce, dissolve the sugar in water in a small bowl. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and mix well.
In the hot pan/wok, add the remaining Tablespoon of oil, the diced chicken, shredded carrots, peanuts, chopped onion, minced garlic, rice, and stir in the sauce. Saute for a couple of minutes and then serve in the lettuce leaves.

Usually I find Asian dishes really intimidating and tedious to make but this is one of the easiest and tastiest I’ve tried. Paired with baked crab rangoons the first time and will pair with a simple Asian salad next time.

We (husband and I) really enjoyed this recipe. I substituted Maifun noodles for the rice. Soaked them in hot water, drained and chopped them up a bit.
