Method

Step 1: Make the sauce

Combine all the sweet & spicy sauce ingredients together until homogenous. Set aside.

Step 2: Stir fry the vegetables

To cook, heat a wok (or a large fry pan) over high heat. Add a drizzle of neutral oil and the garlic and for 20 seconds.

Add the mushrooms and asparagus with a pinch of salt and for a couple of minutes. Set aside, and wipe the wok clean.

Step 3: Stir fry the steak

Heat the wok until smoking again and add oil to the pan.

Add steak cubes and let them on one side for a couple of minutes to brown the exterior. Toss and cook the other sides of the steak, then add the stir-fry sauce. Cook for another minute or so to let the sauce and glaze the steak.

Step 4: Assemble & serve

Add a serving of rice to a bowl, half of the vegetables, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, and the steak. Add any additional toppings you may enjoy: scallions, mayo, stir fry sauce, and pickled ginger. Enjoy!

“What should I do with leftover rice? Make this rice bowl or use whatever vegetables and meat you have in your refrigerator. Make sure to do all the prep work before because the actual cooking comes together insanely fast.”

FAQ

Can I use different kind of steak?

Yes - feel free to use whatever steak cut you prefer. I like flank steak for this recipe because it is lean and usually you can find a nice budget friendly cut at the grocery store.

Can I use different protein and vegetables?

Yes - this bowl is highly customize-able. Use whatever leftover vegetables and protein you have in the refrigerator. Get creative!

What if I don’t have hoisin?

Hoisin is a dark colored and sauce commonly used in Cantonese dishes. If you don’t have any on hand, use some honey instead.
