Methods:

1. In a heated pan, heat 1 tbsp. cooking oil.  Add onion and garlic, stir-fry until slightly browned.  Add chicken and stir well.  Add fish sauce, light soy sauce and stir well until combined and cook until dry but moist.  Stir in cashew nuts and cilantro, turn off heat and remove into a bowl.
2. To assemble the lettuce wraps, add 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the middle of the lettuce, top with some sauce, wrap it up and eat immediately.
