Place Chicken Thighs in a slow cooker. Add Soy Sauce, Sherry, Rice Wine Vinegar, Ginger, Garlic, Sesame Oil, White Pepper, and Five Spice Powder. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is very tender. Shred the chicken with two forks.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all Sauce ingredients until smooth.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly browned (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the Sauce and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the chicken.
Remove from heat and stir in the Water Chestnuts, Green Onions, Carrots, Bamboo Shoots, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Red Bell Pepper.
Carefully separate the lettuce leaves and wash/dry them.
Spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce cups. Garnish with Toasted Sesame Seeds, Chopped Macadamia Nuts, and Microgreens and serve immediately.
