step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Cut the green beans into 2-inch pieces. In a bowl, whisk together the curry paste, soy glaze, soy sauce, and 1/2 cup of water. Season with salt and pepper.

2 Brown the mushrooms

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushroom pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Using a spoon, move the browned mushrooms to one side of the pan.

3 Cook the Beyond Beef™ & sauce

Add the Beyond Beef™ to the other side of the pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking apart with a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Carefully drain off and discard any excess liquid. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the Beyond Beef™ is browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.

4 Cook the green beans & rice cakes

Meanwhile, add the green been pieces to the pot of boiling water and cook 2 minutes. Add the rice cakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender and the green beans are bright green. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.

5 Finish & serve your dish

Add the cooked Beyond Beef™ and sauce to the pot of cooked green beans and rice cakes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined and the rice cakes are thoroughly coated. Turn off the heat; stir in the crème fraîche until combined. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished Beyond Beef™ and rice cakes garnished with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
