Nice and real easy traditional Japanese Style food! These bowls can be of the Ziplock type or other freezer bowls and can be used as a meal for new neighbors, a sick friend or just for you. I found this on . Update 01/07/2008 I remade this and used peapods with less bamboo shoots, sliced red pepper strips with less water chestnuts, increased the garlic to 1 tsp, increased the green onions to 1/3-1/2 cup, and some crushed red pepper flakes, for that extra zing! Just a thought! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin steaks, cut into thin strips |
2 cups water |
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce |
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms |
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained |
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained |
1 1/2 cups fresh bean sprouts |
1/4 cup sliced green onion |
2 tablespoons sugar or 2 tablespoons sugar substitute |
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic |
1/4 cup water |
4 teaspoons cornstarch |
6 cups fluffy cooked white rice |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in 4 quart saucepan until sizzling; add half of steak strips.
2. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Remove meat with slotted spoon.
4. Set aside.
5. Cook remaining steak strips.
6. Return all meat to saucepan.
7. Add all remaining ingredients except 1/4 cup water, cornstarch and rice.
8. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil, about 4 to 5 minutes.
9. Reduce heat to low.
10. Cook until flavors are melded and mushrooms are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
11. Increase heat to medium-high.
12. Combine 1/4 cup water and cornstarch in small bowl.
13. Stir into steak mixture; continue cooking until mixture comes to a boil.
14. Cook 1 minute.
15. Remove from heat; let stand to cool 15 minutes.
16. Divide rice among 8 microwave-safe resealable plastic food bowls; evenly divide steak and broth mixture over rice.
17. Cover; freeze until serving time.
18. *Tip: uncooked long or medium grain rice usually triples when cooked. For 6 cups cooked rice, start with 2 cups uncooked rice.
19. **Tip: to reheat, loosley cover bowl; microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH(70%) power 4-5 minutes or until heated through.
