I've been holding on to this recipe from Culinate.com for a couple of months now, hoping for a share that would get close enough in spirit to be able to create a localvore version. I've subbed in the green/shoot mix for spinach and bean sprouts. If you don't want to sacrifice your fresh greens to the pan, try sauteing some thinly sliced cabbage as a stand-in. Serves 4.
Marinade
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted
4 Tbsp. soy sauce (or tamari)
2 Tbsp. rice wine, dry white vermouth, or 1.5 TB apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. dark sesame oil
~ Pinch of salt
~ Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Meat, mushrooms, and vegetables
12 oz. to 1 pound lean, tender beef, such as top sirloin or sirloin tip, try a country style rib here, or tempeh or tofu.
6 oz. fresh shiitake mushrooms (stems removed) or oyster mushrooms, sliced
~ Vegetable oil for sautéing
2 carrots
1 lb. mix of baby greens and shoots
Wheat Berries and Eggs
3 cups cooked wheat berries, warm
4 eggs
Panchan (condiments)
These are recommended, but you can use whatever combination you have on hand.
