Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 cups brown rice

  • 4 cups water

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 2 teaspoons white sugar

  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce

  • ¼ cup white wine

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

  • 1 pound boneless beef round steak, cut into thin strips

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced

  • 1 (6 ounce) package frozen pea pods, thawed

  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion

  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, undrained

  • 1 cup Chinese cabbage

  • 2 large heads bok choy, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Bring brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

  2. Combine cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, and wine in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in ginger; toss beef in sauce to coat.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir broccoli, carrots, pea pods, and onion for 1 minute. Stir in water chestnuts, Chinese cabbage, and bok choy; cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

  4. In same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef until desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium. Return vegetables to skillet; cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve over rice.

Editor's Note:

Try using apple juice or water instead of white wine.
