Lettuce Wraps

1 lrg head iceberg lettuce
1 lb. ground beef
1 tsp. fresh minced ginger
1 tsp. fresh minced garlic
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 carrot, finely diced or shredded (matchstick carrots work well)
1 small onion, finely diced
1 1/2 c. steam fried noodles
hoisin sauce

Cut across lettuce back from core. Fill sink with cold water. Push lettuce up and down in the water until lettuce leaves separate. Gently pull leaves away from core one at a time. Each leaf will form a natural cup. Remove leaves from water and dry. Stir-fry beef, garlic and ginger for 3-5 minutes. Add peppers, carrots and onion. Cook until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and stir in noodles (should remain crunchy). Generously spread hoisin sauce inside lettuce leaf cup. Add in a serving of beef mixture, wrap up the leaf and enjoy!
