Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the whole lettuce leaves and pat them dry, being careful not to tear them. Set them aside.

In a large, nonstick skillet greased with cooking spray, cook the chicken in the cooking oil for about 3 minutes. Drain the grease and then add the onion and ginger, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Then, stir in the hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and chile pepper and cook for about 2 minutes.

Finally, add the green onions, sesame oil, and carrots and let everything cook for about a minute. Make sure the chicken is no longer pink at this point (if it is, keeping cooking everything until it's done).

Spoon the mixture into the center of the lettuce leaves.
