This bowl is a great way to enjoy noodles, vegetables and protein and bonus – you can pick your own toppings to customize! Use quick-cooking thinly cut steaks known as Beef Fast-fry Steaks. For a meatless option, use extra-firm tofu. Be sure to soak your wooden skewers at least 15 minutes prior cooking so flare ups in the skillet are kept in check.

Cooking Directions

Pickled Carrots: In a small bowl dissolve sugar in warm water, stir in vinegar and carrots. Cover and let sit while you prepare the rest of the meal. Drain before using.

Beef Satay: Cut each fast-fry beef steak OR tofu into 1-inch
thick strips. In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic and ginger. Pour half over the beef or tofu and stir until evenly coated. Set aside the remaining sauce for later. Thread 1 strip of beef or tofu onto each skewer and place on a plate. If strips are small, thread 2 or 3 strips onto a skewer. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook skewers in batches for about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.

Eggs: Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Gently slide into pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until white is set and edges begin to curl slightly. Slide eggs onto a plate.

Assembly: Divide cooked rice or noodles evenly between 4 bowls. Top with mushrooms, pickled carrots, cucumber, skewers and top with an egg. Drizzle each bowl with reserved sauce. Top with daikon radish (if using).
