I had a dish very similar to this a couple of weeks ago in a downtown restaurant and wanted to recreate it to make at home. Came across a recipe http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/korean-chicken-lettuce-wraps from Cooking Light. Read more It's even BETTER than the restaurants. Added here with my tweaks, and Shona's recipe for pickled carrots. SO good! If you want to make your own Gochujang sauce, here's a recipe I like Gochujang Sauce See less

We make a lot of lettuce wraps and these are high up there on my favorites now! The flavors really came through, even with me using chicken breasts, which are usually less flavorful. So glad I made a ton and we had plenty of leftovers. Thanks Jane...more
