Prepare the dipping sauce:
Make the dipping sauce:
In a small saucepan combine 1/2 cup gf soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, cayenne pepper, ginger and brown sugar. Simmer over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.


Preheat a large skillet or wok to high. Add the oil to the pan. Add the chicken to the pan. Stir fry the meat for a minute or 2 or until browned. Add the mushrooms and stir fry for 2 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer the chicken and mushrooms to plate. Return the wok to the heat and add the garlic, shallot and ginger; stir fry for 1 minute. Add the bell pepper, water chestnuts, scallions and bean sprouts; stir fry for another minute. Return the chicken and mushrooms to the wok and add the hoisin sauce; stir fry until mixture is coated evenly and chicken is cooked through. Transfer the hot chicken mixture to a serving platter. Pile quartered wedges of crisp lettuce along side.

To eat, pile a spoonful of chicken mixture into a lettuce leaf, wrapping lettuce around the filling. Dip lettuce wrap into dipping sauce and enjoy!
