Ingredients

Let’s make it

  1. Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and break it into small crumbles.
  2. Add carrot, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring, for 7–10 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Stir in soy sauce and vinegar. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and add sesame oil and scallions.
  4. Spoon the warm filling into lettuce leaves just before serving.
