Can be wrapped in lettuce, served over curried couscous, or used as base ingredient for spring rolls.
Ingredients:
1 tbs sesame oil
1 cup shredded cabbage (i use napa)
1 cup shredded carrots
2 cups shredded cooked roast beef (already cooked deli beef works great)
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tbs soy sauce
8 bibb or romaine lettuce leaves
if you choose to use curried couscous
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup uncooked couscous
salt and pepper
1 tsp curry powder
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil and heat. Add the cabbage and carrots and saute for 2 minutes.
2. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until the beef is heated and the cabbage begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce and cook 5 minutes, until mixture heats through and cabbage wilts, stirring frequently.
4. Place spoonful of mixture in lettuce leaf and hold closed with toothpick. I put the toothpick through a flower before adding to lettuce to feed the eyes, as well as the tummy.
5. For curried couscous:
6. Bring the water to a boil. Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Pour the boiling water over the couscous and cover for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
7. Serve the lettuce wrap on top of the couscous. A great first course for a wonderful dinner.
