Chicken Lettuce Wraps

This recipe comes from my great neighbor and friend from a previous neighborhood.  I have tried numerous other lettuce wraps, but these are definitely the best.  They are light, but still filling (a requirement in my household).

1 TBSP hot mustard
1 tsp red chili paste

1 cup water chestnuts
1/2 cup straw mushrooms
1/3 cup green onions
2 tsp garlic, minced
3 TBSP soy sauce

Place condiments in separate serving dish. Combine sauce ingredients well, then set aside. Stir fry chicken in oil, remove and chop into dime-size pieces. Return to pan along with remaining ingredients and stir fry until heated through. Spoon into lettuce cups and drizzle with sauce. Hot mustard and red chili paste can be added to the sauce according to taste. Yum!
