Cooking Steps

Cook bulgur
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Heat a medium pot over medium. 
  • When hot, add half the sesame oil and bulgur. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Remove from heat. Let stand for 16-18 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed. 
Prep and toast sesame seeds
2
  • Meanwhile, cut zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons. 
  • Thinly slice green onion. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) brown sugar, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) cornstarch and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Set aside. 
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until fragrant. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.) Transfer to a plate.
Cook zucchini
3
  • To the same pan, add remaining sesame oil, then zucchini. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp. 
  • Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Transfer to a plate. 
Cook beef
4
  • To the same pan, add beef and half the Moo Shu Spice Blend (use all for 4 servings). Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
  • Add zucchini and soy mixture (from step 2). Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens and coats beef. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
5
  • Stir half the sesame seeds into bulgur and fluff with a fork. 
  • Divide bulgur between bowls. 
  • Top with beef-zucchini mixture.
  • Drizzle half the spicy mayo (use all for 4 servings) over top.
  • Sprinkle green onions and remaining sesame seeds over top.
