From the Test Kitchen

To give this spin on a Chinese-American favorite a burst of bright citrus flavor, we’re adding fresh orange juice to the spicy soy-based sauce that deliciously coats our tender beef and crisp bok choy. It’s all complete with a bed of fluffy rice and a sprinkle of black and white sesame seeds.

Prepare the ingredients:
1 Prepare the ingredients:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Halve the orange; squeeze the juice into a medium bowl. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Cut off and discard the root end of the bok choy; roughly chop. 

Make the scallion rice:
2 Make the scallion rice:

In a small pot, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm. 

Make the sauce:
3 Make the sauce:

While the rice cooks, to the bowl of orange juice, add the chopped garlic, vinegar, soy glaze, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Stir to combine.
