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. 
  • 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.

  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Thinly slice cucumber into rounds.
  • To a medium bowl, add cucumbers, half the garlic and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) ponzu sauce. Stir to coat.
  • To a large bowl, add beef, brown sugar, remaining garlic and half the Asian Sesame Blend. Season with salt and pepper, then combine. Set aside.
