Crispy lucky lettuce wraps with savory filling symbolize wealth and good fortune. A fresh, healthy family celebration dish with protein-rich ingredients.
Carefully separate and rinse iceberg lettuce leaves. Pat dry and set aside in the refrigerator to chill for extra crispiness.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add ground chicken breast and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully white and no pink remains, about 4–5 minutes.
Stir in mushrooms, water chestnuts, and carrot. Sauté for 3 minutes, then add soy sauce and hoisin sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, until most liquid has reduced and vegetables are softened but still slightly crisp.
Remove from heat and fold in green onions. Immediately spoon the hot filling into chilled lettuce leaves, ensuring each wrap receives an even portion. Serve at once for best crunch.
