Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium pot, add the rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to become sticky.
- In a bowl, mix the 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce, 1/3 cup spice mix, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl, ensuring all pieces are well-coated with the marinade.
- Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to an hour for more flavor.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a serving bowl.
- Add the chopped scallions and sliced red hot chili peppers.
- Drizzle with 1 tsp sesame oil and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Toss to combine.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the marinated beef slices to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Sauté the beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until it's cooked through and has a slightly caramelized surface.
- Fluff the sticky rice with a fork and divide it among serving plates.
- Add a generous portion of the cooked teriyaki beef beside the rice.
- Serve with a side of the cucumber salad.
- Optionally, garnish with extra sesame seeds or scallions if desired.
Tips:
- Marinate the beef in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Use a rice cooker for perfectly cooked sticky rice, ensuring the right texture and consistency.
- Slice cucumbers thinly and evenly for a consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Add sesame oil towards the end of cooking to preserve its nutty flavor.
- Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds just before serving for a fresh and aromatic touch.
- Adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers based on your preference for spiciness.
- Cook the garlic and ginger first to release their aromatic flavors before adding the beef.
Teriyaki beef with sticky rice and cucumber is not only a delicious and satisfying meal but also a vibrant presentation that appeals to the senses.
