Ingredients:  
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup plum preserves (no sugar added) or 4 oz. plum paste
1/3 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks or grated
2 tablespoons high-temperature cooking oil, such as grapeseed
1 pound ground pork or chicken
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 bunch scallions, chopped
2 Fresno or red jalapeno chiles, seeded and sliced, or 1/2 red frying pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Ground Szechuan pepper or black pepper

Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine the stock, preserves, tamari and ginger. Bring the plum sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium.
In a large skillet, heat the oil, two turns of the pan, over high. Add the pork and cook, stirring and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned. Season with the five-spice powder, then add the scallions, chiles and garlic; season with the Szechuan pepper. Stir-fry until the scallions soften, about 2 minutes. Add the plum sauce and stir-fry until the sauce is absorbed, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with the sesame oil and top with the peanuts, sesame seeds and herbs. Serve with the lettuce leaves for wrapping.
