Asian Lettuce Wraps With Garlic Scapes

-
3 cups
leftover roast chicken, chopped
-
1 bunch
basil
-
1 bunch
cilantro
-
3 tablespoons
coconut oil
-
3 tablespoons
sesame seeds
-
1 head
butterleaf lettuce

1 inch

-
5-6
garlic scapes, chopped
-
3
carrots
-
pinch of crushed red pepper
-
mung bean sprouts to garnish
-

- First, heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic scapes and red pepper and continue to heat until the mixture becomes fragrant (trust me … it won't be long).
- Add the chopped chicken and carrots and cook until the carrots brighten a bit (they should still be crunchy when served) and the chicken is heated through. Shred or snip the basil and cilantro leaves over the skillet, and reserve some to garnish the plate.
- Deglaze the pan with a touch of tamari and plenty of fish sauce. Serve on a platter and allow guests to fill their lettuce leaves with the mixture and garnish as desired.
