Lettuce Wraps

INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground chicken (you can boil chicken breasts and cut them up really fine with kitchen shears, or I just use the canned chicken and smash it up really fine) 

1 small can water chestnuts- drained, finely chopped 

3 green onions- finely  chopped 

2 cups chicken broth 

2 cloves garlic (finely chopped) 

Soy sauce

1 Tbsp (approx) fresh/ground ginger 

2 tsp red pepper flakes 

1 packet rice (or Ramen) noodles, broken to little pieces 

One head lettuce

DIRECTIONS

Cook the chicken in a frying pan over medium high heat, while it’s cooking break it up as small as possible with a spatula.  When the chicken is cooked, turn the heat down to medium and add the water chestnuts, green onions, garlic and chicken broth.  Bring to a boil.  Add soy sauce (to taste), ginger, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, and Ramen noodles.  Cook for about five minutes, or until the liquid is all cooked down (or to taste).  Serve family style in large bowl w/lettuce leaves on the side.
