Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
4 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 sprig fresh mint
1 onion finely sliced
1 red pepper, cut into matchsticks
3 ribs celery, grated
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 cups shredded carrots
4 tablespoons plum sauce

For Serving:
2 heads boston lettuce for making lettuce wraps
Fresh Mint
Shredded raw carrots

In a sauce pan combine all ingredients except for vegetables, lettuce & plum sauce. Bring liquid to a boil then cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, approximately 25 minutes. Remove chicken from pot, and add all vegetables to liquid. Cover and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. While vegetables are cooking, use 2 forks to shred chicken breasts. Return shredded chicken to pot with vegetables. Simmer 5 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken vegetable mixture from pot, and combine with plum sauce in a serving bowl, coating chicken with sauce. Discard extra liquid in pot.

To assemble:
Top lettuce leaf with spoonful of chicken mixture, carrots & mint leaf.

Note: Plum sauce can be replaced with Duck sauce for a sweeter flavor.

Serves 8
