Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup coconut milk (from a can)
- 3 tablespoons all-natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 small onion (minced)
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)

- 14 ounces baby corn (drained and cut into bite-sized pieces)

- ¼ cup cilantro
- Bibb lettuce or butter lettuce (to serve)

Instructions
- Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sriracha to a small pot over medium heat. Whisk well and then let it heat until it thickens. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the lime juice.
- Make the sauce next by whisking the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and any liquid has evaporated from the pan, about 7 minutes.
- Add the carrot and bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the corn and the sauce and stir until the sauce is bubbly and thick. Stir in the green onions and cilantro.
- Fill the lettuce wraps and then top with some satay sauce and any or all of the garnishes.
