Step 1
Place the 1 lb lamb, 3 dried red dates, and 1 inch sliced ginger in a pot. Cover with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil over high heat, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce heat to low, skim off any foam, and simmer gently until the lamb is tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Add 1 tsp salt in the last 5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the lamb from the pot and let it rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange the 4 large lettuce leaves on a serving plate.
Step 4
Slice the lamb thinly against the grain and arrange the slices over the lettuce.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Serve the sauce alongside the lamb for dipping.
