Heat oil in a skillet and sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and lightly golden.
Add chicken and cook while breaking it into small pieces until fully browned and juicy.
Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, hoisin (optional), and chili paste to coat the chicken in a glossy, flavorful sauce.
Mix in shredded carrots and green onions and cook briefly to keep the vegetables vibrant and crisp.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy, vinegar, or lime for balance.
Spoon the warm chicken mixture into crisp lettuce cups and garnish with herbs, lime, peanuts, or sesame seeds.
