Preparation
Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise on an angle.
- Slice the scallions crosswise on an angle.
- In a small bowl, make the sauce by combining the sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch and ½ cup water (double for 4 portions).
Cook the beef & green beans
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the beef and cook, 1 to 2 min., until partially cooked; season with S&P.
- Add the green beans, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 mins., until tender and the beef* is cooked through.
Coat the beef & green beans
- To the pan, add the sauce and cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until coated and thickened.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your bowls.
- Top with the beef and green beans.
