Love Chinese food but not all the grease? We lightened up this classic so you can enjoy a restaurant favorite without the high calorie count. The end result is a flavor-packed beef dish that’s ready in only 30 minutes. We call for Chinese cabbage, but you can use either bok choy or napa cabbage if that’s what is available at your supermarket. Hoisin sauce is often part of moo shu dishes. It’s a fragrant, sweet and salty sauce that’s often used in Chinese cuisine. It has a thicker consistency than soy sauce and is a delicious option for Asian stir-fried entrées like this one.
