Forget the pancakes and use crisp lettuce leaves to scoop up our lightened Moo Shu. It's packed with good stuff: lean beef, fresh ginger, garlic and loads of mixed vegetables.

Ingredients



1 spray(s) cooking spray

1 pound(s) uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)

1 cup(s) onion(s), yellow, thinly sliced

2 tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced

2 medium garlic clove(s), minced

2 cup(s) bok choy, thinly sliced

1 medium sweet red pepper(s), thinly sliced

2 cup(s) button mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 10 mushrooms)

2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

8 leaf bibb lettuce

Instructions

  • Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, ginger and garlic; cook until beef is browned and onion is soft, breaking up meat as it cooks, about 5 to 7 minutes.

  • Add bok choy, pepper, mushrooms and soy sauce; cook, stirring occasionally, until bok choy is wilted and pepper is tender-crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Spoon about 1/2 cup of beef mixture into each lettuce leaf. Yields 2 filled leaves per serving.
