Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine marinade ingredients and stir until mixed. Add ground chicken to the marinade and stir until chicken is thoroughly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes.
While chicken is marinating, mix all the ingredients for the sauce until thoroughly combined and set aside.
When chicken is marinated, heat a tablespoon of the canola oil over medium-high heat in a wok or sauté pan. Add the chicken and cook, breaking up the chicken with a spoon, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Put the pan back on the burner and heat another tablespoon of oil. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions (this step will smell amazing!) and cook for a minute or two until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. Cook for another 2-4 minutes and then add the chicken back to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the top and stir until chicken and vegetables are coated. Cook a few more minutes until heated through and sauce is thickened.
Serve with lettuce leaves for wrapping.
