Wok-fired minced chicken, green onions, mushrooms and water chestnuts topped with crispy rice sticks make up our signature dish, Chang's Lettuce Wraps.
Hi, John! Umami is a category of flavor in food, like salty or sweet. The umami sauce is used to flavor our dishes. Although we can't share our specific ingredients in our recipes, we highly recommend Barbara Tropp’s cookbooks. She was an expert in Asian cuisine and a consultant with P.F. Chang’s throughout our menu development
I have made eight different chef's version of lettuce wraps. Including yours. It's one of my all time favorite, besides Dynamite Shrimp. I always start the cooking with great enthusiasm, hoping that would be the missing ingredient in my home version attempts. ALL versions have been delicious. But, NONE have the smokiness as the PF Chang version. I have even tried Liquid Smoke. That's not it either. That is what I SPECIFICALLY want to know, their secret, for the addictive, full bodied smokiness that PFChang's attains. The ONLY thing I can think of the smoky flavor comes from those high heat flames from those amazing stoves, which we can never replicate at home. BOO!!!! Looks like I just have to give up my quest for the real thing from PF Changs. H E L P M E F I N D T H E H O L Y G R A I L L E O F S M O K E Y C H I C K E N W R A P S.
It is the high heat from the wok stoves that creates the smokiness. It’s called Wok Hei. There are ways to achieve it at home. Kenji Lopez has a whole book he’s written on the subject. I’d give it a read to see what you want to try
You can’t buy umami in a jar. Umami is a category of taste, along with sweet, sour, salty, bitter. They call it umami sauce because it’s their special blend of sauces.
I used to.make the lettuce cups for this recipe at the restaurant.

He didn’t add no mince garlic
He didn’t add “any” minced garlic
Isn’t this technically “in front of the wok” rather than “behind the wok”? I’m just asking the questions other people won’t.
Why does every recipe I see said hoisin sauce and not umami what’s the difference
That's just their secret recipe
