Instructions

1. 1.
   In a medium bowl, combine the miso paste, soy sauce, and minced ginger. Mix well until the miso is fully dissolved and you have a smooth marinade. This will be the base flavor for the chicken, providing a deep umami taste.
2. 2.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook while breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the chicken begins to brown slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
3. 3.
   Once the chicken is mostly cooked, pour the miso-ginger marinade into the pan. Stir well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Continue to cook on medium heat, stirring often, until the liquid reduces and the chicken is well browned and slightly crispy, about 5 more minutes.
4. 4.
   While the chicken is cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry with a paper towel. Choose leaves that are firm and large enough to act as wraps for the chicken filling.
5. 5.
   Once the chicken is done, remove it from heat. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the center of each prepared lettuce leaf. Ensure not to overfill, so the leaves can be wrapped easily without tearing. Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh crunch from the lettuce paired with the savory chicken filling.
