Lettuce wraps make for a fresh burst of crunch and flavor, or spoon the stir-fry over rice. Look for fish sauce in your grocery store’s Asian foods section. Ingredients 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided 1/2 cup minced shallots 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper 4 teaspoons minced fresh garlic 1 pound ground chicken 2 […]

Inspired by the classic Vietnamese dish Cha Ca La Vong, these wraps are a fun way to serve up stir-fry. Swap in black cod for tilapia if you prefer a heartier fish.

I consider this dish a modern Vietnamese cook’s interpretation of a classic. If you can find white sweet potatoes, use them–they’re drier and less sweet than their orange cousins, but traditional sweet potatoes will work just fine, too.
