 1 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
 1 Tablespoon Rice Wine or Dry Sherry
 1⁄2 teaspoon Sugar
 Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
 2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
 6 iceberg lettuce leaves, rinsed (careful not to break)

 4 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
 1/2 teaspoon Chili Sauce, I used Sriracha
 1 Tablespoon Warm Water
 1 teaspoon Ketchup

Place the mushrooms in hot water to soften for about 5 minutes. Remove stems and chop fine. Combine soy sauces, oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, rice wine, sugar, and pepper in a bowl.

2

Combine ground chicken, softened mushrooms and water chestnuts into a bowl. Pour sauce over chicken; toss. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
