Oriental Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I'm forever saving recipe sites in my 'favorites' and accidently clicked on this one this morning. I've yet to make it but the ingredients remind me of something similar we had at PF Changs in Florida. This recipe serves 8 as an appetizer. Prep and cook time are approximate.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons soya sauce
• 2  teaspoons cornstarch
• 1⁄4 cup golden syrup
• 2  tablespoons  oil (canola or corn)
• 3⁄4 lb ground chicken
• 2  teaspoons  minced garlic
• 2  teaspoons gingerroot
• 1  medium carrot, finely diced
• 2  green onions, chopped
• 1⁄3 cup  chopped unsalted peanuts or 1⁄3 cup cashews
• 8  lettuce leaves (Boston, leaf or iceberg)

Directions

1. In small bowl combine soya sauce and corn starch until smooth; stir in corn syrup. Set aside.
