instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then quarter lengthwise. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. In a bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy glaze, vinegar, 1/2 cup of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.
2
Cook the rice
Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, chopped garlic, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 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.
3
Cook the vegetables
Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the quartered peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the chopped bok choy and sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.
4
Coat & cook the beef
Separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch; toss to thoroughly coat. In the same pan, heat a thin layer of oil on medium-high. Once the oil is hot enough that a pinch of cornstarch sizzles immediately when added, add the coated beef in an even layer (discarding any excess cornstarch). Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until just cooked through.
5
Finish & serve your dish
Add the cooked vegetables and sauce to the pan of cooked beef. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished beef, vegetables, and sauce over the cooked rice. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
