Sesame Chicken lettuce wraps

Sesame Chicken Wraps
From Essential Mormon Celebrations: Secret Combinations for Holidays, Homecomings, Potluck Dinners, and More by Julie Badger Jensen, p.14

4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups chicken breast strips
1 tablespoon butter
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons sesame oil
6 butter lettuce leaves [or whatever lettuce you want]

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl; pour over chicken strips and stir to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes. In a frying pan, melt butter over low heat. Add sesame seeds and cook until lightly browned. Set aside to cool. In a separate skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Quickly stir-fry the chicken in the heated oil just until cooked through. Combine sesame seeds with chicken. Spoon on e-sixth of the mixture atop the center of each lettuce leaf. Fold lettuce into a wrap to be eaten by hand. Place on a platter. Makes 6 sesame chicken bundles.
