Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the 5 spice powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper together. Set aside.
• Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, and pound out in between two sheets of plastic wrap. This is to ensure even cooking.
• Sprinkle on spice mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts, lightly patting "rub" onto the chicken.
• Heat oil in pan over medium high/high heat and fry chicken until lightly browned. (If your breasts are pounded out thin, it should not take too long to cook.) Put a little bit of butter (about 1/2 tbsp) on the top of each chicken breast, and drizzle lemon juice as well, for extra flavor. Flip chicken breasts over to cook the other side and repeat process.
• Once the chicken has been fully cooked, remove from heat and place onto a platter and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
• While the chicken is resting, prepare the slaw mix. Peel and wash your carrots and daikon radish. If you have a mandolin, you may use that to slice the carrots. Otherwise, thinly slice the carrots and daikon into julienned strips.
• In another bowl, combine the carrots, daikon, diced green onions, bean sprouts, and Szechuan sauce together.
• Thinly slice the chicken breasts. You can either slice them into strips or dice them, depending on your preference.
• Arrange a little of the slaw mix and the chicken onto each bib lettuce cup. If you are unable to find bib lettuce, you can try using regular iceberg lettuce cups instead.
• If you are serving this as an appetizer, it should serve about 4-6 people.
