Ground chicken sizzles with garlic, ginger, and a glossy hoisin-soy sauce, then gets tucked into cool, crisp lettuce cups for a hands-on meal that feels like takeout at home. Water chestnuts and mushrooms add satisfying crunch, while sriracha and honey balance heat and sweetness. Light yet filling, it is a weeknight winner that lets everyone build their own.
