From the Test Kitchen

These chicken lettuce cups get their dynamic flavor from togarashi seasoning—a staple of Japanese cuisine. Juicy bites of orange add more bright flavor and color.

1 Prepare the ingredients:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Using a peeler, remove the green rind of the lime, avoiding the white pith; mince the rind to get 2 teaspoons of zest (or use a zester). Quarter the lime. Peel the carrots; grate on the large side of a box grater. Cut off and discard the ends of the radishes; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the root end of the lettuce; separate the leaves. Peel and medium dice the orange.
