Summary
Carrots pull double duty here -- they go into the poaching liquid for the chicken, and they're tossed with rice vinegar to make a crunchy topping for the lettuce cups.
Ingredients

- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup minced ginger (from a 4-inch piece)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and light-green parts only, plus separated scallion tops (from a 4-ounce bunch)
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped, plus 2 cups carrot ribbons cut with a Y-peeler (from 3 carrots)
- 1/3 cup safflower oil
- 1 tablespoon rice-wine vinegar
