Slice beef thin. Combine soy sauce and oil. Add to beef and toss. Let stand 30 minutes, turning meat occasionally. Bring stock to a boil. Meanwhile cut lettuce in 2-inch sections. Add lettuce to stock with salt and sugar and simmer, uncovered, until nearly done (about 10 minutes). Add beef and simmer, uncovered, 3 to 4 minutes more. VARIATION: For the Chinese lettuce, substitute either alone or in combination: celery, shredded; Swiss chard or spinach leaves, cut in half; or water cress, cut in 2-inch sections. Reduce cooking time in step 3 to about 2 or 3 minutes. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4. Downloaded from Glen's MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
