Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups water for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2
  • While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Using kitchen shears, trim stems from shishito peppers. Quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.

Season & Cook Steak
3
  • Pat steak* dry with paper towels; cut into bite-size pieces. Place in a medium bowl and season all over with salt and pepper. Add cornstarch to bowl and toss to coat.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Blister Shishito Peppers
4
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for steak over medium-high heat. Add shishito peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and blistered, 2-3 minutes.

Finish Stir-Fry
5
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine chili sauce, 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze, and ½ tsp sugar (5 TBSP sweet soy glaze and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the sweet soy glaze—we sent more!)

  • Transfer steak back to pan along with chili-soy mixture and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Cook, stirring, until steak and peppers are thoroughly coated, 1-2 minutes.

  • Remove from heat and stir in a squeeze of lime juice (big squeeze for 4).

Finish & Serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in garlic-ginger scallion paste. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Divide rice between bowls and top with steak and shishito peppers. Sprinkle with crispy fried onions and cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
