Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the hoisin, soy sauce and ⅓ cup water.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the chicken and cook, breaking up the chicken as it cooks, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the carrot and the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and the scallion whites and cook an additional minute. Stir in the hoisin and continue to cook until the sauce thickens, another 1-2 minutes.
To serve, place some of the mixture in a lettuce leaf and top with some of the scallion greens.
