Notes
PF Chang’s fans will notice their is no special sauce as this is the quick to the table copycat version of PF Changs lettuce wraps made the low oxalate way! Add your favorite store bought sweet, spicy or sweet and spicy sauce if desired. I actually like the recipe better without the sauce :)
This is a freezer friendly meal! The chicken stir fry freezes very well. Make a large batch and save a few portions to freeze and add fresh lettuce or rice when serving.
