3. Add soy sauce, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook stirring until heated through, about 1 minute.

 
4. Spoon into lettuce leaves and serve. The "proper" way to eat these is to roll up the lettuce to make a wrap, but it's a bit messy :) For a tidier version, the beef mixture can be served over greens to make a really tasty salad.
