Steps
- 01
Cut zucchini into roughly 2.5 cm pieces, mix with salted shrimp, sliced chili and scallion. Start with less shrimp if very salty.
- 02
Slice beef into thin strips and toss with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp potato starch.
- 03
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet on medium-high. Spread beef for about 1–2 minutes, turn and cook another 1–2 minutes until fully cooked and no raw pink remains. Transfer to a clean plate.
- 04
Use a clean skillet, sauté garlic and onion in 2 tbsp oil about 2 minutes. Add the seasoned zucchini, stir for 1 minute, then cook on medium another 4–5 minutes until just tender.
- 05
Return cooked beef to the vegetables, toss and heat through. Divide over two bowls of hot rice and serve immediately.
Before you cook
Handle raw beef separately from vegetables and clean utensils. Cook beef thoroughly, refrigerate rice and cooked meat within two hours, and check shrimp, soy/wheat and sesame allergens.
