P.F. Chang's Lettuce Wraps!

I found this super yummy recipe online for these lettuce wraps, and the filling even tastes delicious on rice (in fact, Drew likes it better just on rice).

Stir fry cubed chicken, chopped mushrooms, water chestnuts, onions, and a little garlic until chicken is cooked. Add sauce and cook until chicken is juicy and smells delicious!
Sauce: 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
Serve in iceberg lettuce leaves like a burrito!

At P.F. Chang's, these are served with two sauces. One sauce is 1 Tablespoon hot mustard and 2 teaspoons hot water just mixed together (you can also add a chili paste). The other sauce is as follows:
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
2 Tablespoons ketchup
1 Tablespoon lemon juice

When I made this, I boiled the chicken then cubed it, rather than frying it, and it turned out just fine. The website I got this from even says that you can use ground chicken, too. I doubled this recipe and it was plenty for dinner, along with some rice. And it's a lot easier than it seems. Delicious!
