Default lettuce wraps

My family loves PF Chang's lettuce wraps. I searched online and found several recipes. When I went to the store I saw a packet for lettuce wrap sauce and it was wonderful. Now, I won't bother making my sauce from scratch. It was so easy to make. I just used ground chicken, green onions, 1/2 can water chestnuts and peanuts, with bib lettuce. It's Lee Kum Kee, Panda Brand, Lettuce wrap sauce. Directions below.

Directions
Preparation Time: 6 minutes. Cooking Time: 6 minutes (makes 4-6 servings). What You'll Need: 1 lb ground chicken or ground pork; 8 oz can water chestnuts, drained and chopped; 4 green onions, chopped; 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped; 1 (4 oz) carrot, diced; 1 head Iceberg lettuce, separated into rounds; 2 tbsp cooking oil; 1 pouch Lee Kum Kee Sauce for Lettuce Wrap. 1. Heat oil over High heat in a large frying pan or wok. 2. Add chicken (or pork) and stir-fry for 2 minutes until browned. Add all vegetables, peanuts and water chestnuts. Stir-fry 2 more minutes. 3. Add 3/4 pouch of Lee Kum Kee Sauce for Lettuce Wrap. Bring to a simmer, and add green onions and peanuts. Scoop the mixture into a lettuce cup. Save remaining sauce to serve at the table, then serve. Use remaining sauce per taste. Store in cool, dry place. Once opened, consume immediately.
