You'll have some leftover creamy ginger soy dressing for salad later in the week.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
For rice
For dressing
For wraps
Make rice:
Step 1
Wash rice in 3 or 4 changes of cold water in a large bowl until water is clear, then drain well in a large sieve. Bring 1 3/4 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil, then add rice and cook, covered tightly, over low heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered and undisturbed, 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and transfer to a bowl to cool to warm.
Make dressing and serve wraps:
Step 2
Purée all dressing ingredients in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Toss shredded chicken with lime vinaigrette.
Step 4
Put chicken and remaining wrap ingredients in bowls on a large platter with ginger dressing on the side.

Back to TopI love this recipe and I’ve been making it for years. But I had to come up with a gluten free dish for 8 and this was too unwieldy as wraps. So, I made pad Thai noodles; skipped the rice and lettuce. Chopped the chicken, cukes and mango into small pieces along with a big handful each of basil, cilantro and mint. Don’t skimp on the cukes or mango. Toss and serve. No fuss, no muss. For vegetarians use marinated tofu.

Delicious! A big hit with guests, and they loved the creamy ginger soy dressing. Though it was twice as much dressing as needed. I used a rotisserie chicken and shredded both white and dark meat. To jullienne is time consuming so you may want to chop ingredients the night before and/or make the dressing ahead.

This was super easy to make and tasted great. The time for cooking was pretty accurate, especially if you're like myself and a bit slower in the kitchen

This is delicious. Sometimes I just serve this as a salad.

Speedy no-cooking prep suggestions: use a mandoline on the cukes and mango; use rice wraps (we use a deep-dish pie pan for holding warm water for dipping at the table); skip the rice; buy a roasted chicken, shred and toss with a little lime juice before serving. Our favorite fun summer go-to dish! Srirachi is a nice condiment for those who like it hot. Mint is a nice touch too.

My 7 year old son said "it's like a flavor explosion that turns into a dance party and then we all go to Disneyland!" That's how delicious this was. I made it exactly per the recipe. This will be a staple. If the dressings are made in advance, it's not very time consuming at all. It IS very, very messy. But I'll take a messy, healthy, delicious dinner any night of the week.

This was delicious, but not sure it was worth my time to prepare. There are many steps: create marinade, marinade, grill, shred, chop, make rice, mix ingredients, create dressing. Perhaps if I made the dressing and chopped the ingredients the day before, and then assembled for dinner, it would not feel so tedious. Since I don't like the taste of cucumber I subbed jicama for the crunch. This was a hit with the kids, too.

I just loved this recipe!!!! It is simply delicious! I put only just over half a cup of olive oil in the dressing, which made the flavours much stronger and the dressing less oily. Followed everything else exactly the same. We gobbled up everything! We can't wait to make it for company

Excellent meal, so happy I made it. Worth going the extra step to do chicken in the marinade suggested although I didn't grill it, just used a grill pan (think grilling would have been better but this worked great). The flavors were great and all should be included... the cilantro definitely added a kick, the cucumbers a needed bit of crunch and the sauce just delicious. As previous reviewers have said, but i forgot when making, the sauce is WAY too much so halving or quartering is a smart idea. Served for a dinner party and this was by far the prize dish (served along with mushroom/sesame beef salad, a kiwi/avocado/lemony salad) & garlic broccoli. yummy. fair bit of work but worth it!

Great for a light summer dinner when it it hot and you feel like eating healthy and not too heavy but yummy! We used Romaine lettuce for lack of the other and it was great anyways

I can't remember if I've rated this before but it's so superb who cares! I have made it numerous times and started chopping instead of matchsticking the veggies and fruit about the third time. It's still delicious flavors.I usually cut back on the mayo in the dressing and it's still great. We use the leftover dressing on other salads and veggies. We are one sloppy mess when we eat these but we're loving it!

The best lettuce wraps I've ever had. Since making it 2 weeks ago I have made it 4 times, I just can not get enough! The dressing is sensational and the marinade essential! LOVE THIS RECIPE! Oh and if your kids eat veggies they will love it too, my kids love it (9, 7, and 5 years old). It is a go to recipe in my house now.

My family loves this. The only change I make is using non-fat unflavored yoghurt instead of mayo in the dressing. And when hurried, I just buy a pre-cooked chicken--works fine.
