P.F. Chang's Lettuce Wraps

These were a lot of work to make (and a grocery budget breaker if you don't have any of the sauces like me...of course now I'll have them for a long time), but definitely worth it! I was nervous, but they ended up being super delicious and pretty dang close to what I remember at the restaurant!

Ingredients:
*CHICKEN MARINADE...
- 1 t. cornstarch
- 2 t. dry sherry
- 2 t. water
- 2 t. soy sauce
- 1 t. oil
- salt and pepper
*OTHER...
- 8 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1-1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken, cubed
- 5 T. oil (I used maybe 1 T. because mine seemed "oily" enough)
- 1 t. fresh minced ginger (I used ground ginger)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, minced
- 2 small dried chilies (optional)
- 8 oz. can bamboo shoots, minced
- 8 oz. can waterchestnuts, minced
- 1 package cellophane Chinese rice noodles, prepared according to package (these are pretty cool to watch when you fry them-Ella freaked out because she thought they were alive)
*COOKING SAUCE...
- 1 T. Hoisin sauce
- 1 T. soy sauce
- 1 T. dry sherry
- 2 T. oyster sauce
- 2 T. water
- 1 t. sesame oil
- 1 t. sugar
- 2 t. cornstarch
*Iceburg lettuce "cups"

Directions:
- Cover mushrooms with boiling water, let stand 30 min. then drain. Cut and discard woody stems. Mince mushrooms. Set aside.
- Mix all ingredients for cooking sauce in bowl, and set aside.
- In medium bowl, mix ingredients for chicken marinade and add chicken. Stir to coat chicken thoroughly and let sit 15 min. to marinate.
- Heat wok or large skillet over medium high heat. Add 3 T. oil (I skipped the oil), then add chicken and stir fry for 3-4 min. Set aside.
- Add 2 T. oil to pan (I used 1). Add ginger, garlic, chilies, and onion; stir fry about a minute or so.
- Add mushrooms, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts; stir fry an additional 2 min. Return chicken to pan. Add mixed cooking sauce to pan. Cook until thickened and hot.
- Break cooked cellophane noodles into small pieces, and cover bottom of serving dish with them. Pour chicken mixture on top of noodles. Spoon into lettuce leaf and roll. Enjoy!
