Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

04

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Chef's Tips

For extra crunch, add some shredded carrots or cucumber to your wraps. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds also adds a nice touch and nutty flavor. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level.

Easy Substitutions

Ground turkey or pork can be used instead of chicken. For a vegetarian option, use firm tofu or tempeh, pressed and cubed, and cook until golden before adding the sauce. Coconut aminos can replace soy sauce for a gluten-free alternative.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover chicken mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store lettuce leaves separately. Reheat the chicken gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before assembling fresh wraps.
