Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low.
  • Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. 
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.  
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, trim green beans, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice green onion.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together plum sauce, soy sauce and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water until well combined. Set aside.
  • Pat tilapia dry with paper towels, pressing well to absorb as much moisture as possible.
  • Cut into bite sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. 
Cook green beans
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and green beans. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp and water evaporates.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Transfer green beans to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
Cook tilapia
4
  • In a zip-top bag, combine cornstarch and half the Moo Shu Spice Blend (use all for 4 servings). Add tilapia, then toss to coat.
  • To the same pan, add 1 1/2 tbsp oil and reduce heat to medium.
  • Shake off any excess coating on tilapia, then add tilapia to the pan. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook tilapia in 2 batches for 4 servings, using 1 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden and cooked through.**
Finish and serve
5
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in green onions and half the crispy shallots.
  • Divide green onion rice between bowls. Top with green beans and tilapia.
  • Drizzle plum sauce mixture over top.
  • Sprinkle with remaining crispy shallots.

If you've opted to get tilapia, pat tilapia dry with paper towels, pressing well to absorb as much moisture as possible. Cut into bite sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
