This may seem like a lot of ingredients, but it goes together so quickly supper will be on the table in no time! It can serve 8 people easily if you choose to add the Jasmine rice to the menu. We love the Hoisen and 5-Spice flavors and for our taste I use 4 Tablespoons of the Hoisen & 1 Teaspoon of the 5-spice.

How To Make moo shu ground beef

Step 1

Lightly spray, or coat a large skillet, or wok with the olive oil. Brown the meat with the onions until meat is browned & onions are limp.

Step 2

Add the ginger root, garlic, carrots and mushrooms and cook til mushrooms are soft. Add the red pepper slices, bean sprouts, water chestnuts & bok choy. Stir fry until veggies are crisp tender.
Step 3

Mix the soy sauce, hoisen sauce and 5-spice powder. Add to skillet, and mix well with all the ingredients. If your family prefers a more spicy flavor add crushed red pepper flakes to your taste.
Step 4

Serve in lettuce wraps, or in low fat tortillas for a low fat, healthy Asian dinner.
Step 5

If you have family members who are not watching their diet, or carbs, you can also serve Jasmine rice with the beef either on the side, or in the wraps.
