Method
 

  1. Prep the aromatics
    Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the green onions. Separate and wash the lettuce leaves, then pat dry.
  2. Brown the chicken
    Heat the non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
  3. Build flavor
    Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is glossy and well combined.
  4. Finish & assemble
    Remove from heat. Spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce cups and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
