With rice, 10/10.
In this case, 12-28: Tri-Color Risotto. So more like 6/10.

As I mentioned in other wok-related stir-fry recipes (like 7-11: Oriental Stir-Fried Pork, 9-44: Wok-Fried Beef Patties, and 13-14: Wok-Fried Veggies with Pasta), the important factor when using a wok is HOT HOT HEAT. 🔥

Ingredients. Ignore the bananas. CSA box came with a leek, so we’re going with leek instead of green onions. As usual, swapping out a similar meatless option for the beef.

As I was preparing this and 12-28: Tri-Color Risotto at the same time (#mealprepsunday), there are some extra veggies in the prep shot.

I did my “beef” first, and then pulled it out to use the flavor for the mushrooms.

Sautéed the mushrooms–saving the peppers and leek for last. I didn’t use a wok for this, but this pan is the next best thing.

Added the “beef” back in at the last minute.

Topped 12-28: Tri-Color Risotto with this recipe for work lunches over a week. This was definitely the better Simply Delicious recipe of the two.
