Crisp lettuce leaves are ideal for scooping up this lightened moo shu. It's packed with good stuff: lean beef, fresh minced ginger and garlic, and a variety of vegetables. It makes for a colorful, visually appealing light entrée or appetizer, and it’s ready in 30 minutes. Look for a piece of ginger root that is free of blemishes and soft spots for the best flavor. For a slightly different take, consider incorporating hoisin sauce—a fragrant, sweet and salty sauce that has a thicker consistency than soy sauce. Bibb lettuce offers a sweeter flavor than some other lettuce varieties, and most importantly for this dish, the soft leaves are pliable, serving as the perfect wrappers for this moo shu.
