   ~10 min

2. 2

   In a small bowl, stir together the {Hoisin Sauce}, {Soy sauce}, {Rice Vinegar}, {Sesame oil}, and {Honey}.

3. 3

   Heat the {Vegetable oil} in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, {Salt}, and {Black pepper}, then cook until lightly golden and nearly cooked through, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

   ~5 min

4. 4

   Add the {Garlic}, {Ginger}, and half the {Spring Onion}. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the hoisin sauce mixture and stir for 2 minutes until the chicken is glossy and coated. Stir in the {Carrot} for the last minute so it stays crisp.

   ~4 min

   Spoon the hoisin chicken into the {Lettuce} leaves. Top with the remaining {Spring Onion}, the {Sesame seeds}, and {Fresh cilantro}. Serve with wedges of {Lime} for squeezing over, if using.
