[list=zlrecipe-instructions-list]
[*]In a small bowl, combine the hoisin, soy sauce and 1/3 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.
