Hey hi LOOK what I made: a copycat recipe of PF Chang's chicken lettuce wraps 😍!
Dan ordered PF Chang's for delivery recently and he ordered those famous lettuce wraps. As I was chowing down I had an epiphany...I could make these tastier, healthier, and faster than the time it would take to order them from the restaurant by myself! And what kind of food blogger would I be if I didn't share the recipe with you 😊?
Perk 1: These PF Chang's chicken lettuce wraps only take...wait for it...20 minutes.
That's it! It takes longer for me to decide what to order on door dash than it does to make this delectable dish.
Perk 2: These taste even better than the restaurant made ones and they're healthier! No added sugar, less oil, and low sodium soy sauce. Win win win amiright?
