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

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil and heat. Add the cabbage and carrots and saute for 2 minutes.

Add the beef and cook, stirring, until the beef is heated and the cabbage begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.

Add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce and cook 5 minutes, until mixture heats through and cabbage wilts, stirring frequently.

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.

For curried couscous:

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.

Serve the lettuce wrap on top of the couscous. A great first course for a wonderful dinner.
