It seems that these days, I'm in the mood to try something new all the time. I guess I'm just bored with food. It seems I can almost always eat Asian-inspired dishes and tonight was one of those nights. I decided tonight's mission was to try my hand at making Asian chicken lettuce wraps; however, I wasn't sure how well this would be received by my picky little 7 year old. She seems to like a lot of Asian dishes we have had at various restaurants, so all hope wasn't lost.

My daughter loved this meal! She ate everything which rarely happens so it must have been good. If you like your chicken to be a little more spicy, you can add 1 tsp Chinese Hot mustard or more to taste. I left this out because my daughter does not eat things that are spicy; however, this didn't really impact the taste of the dish as everyone in my family really enjoyed it!
