Marinade

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Place beef in bowl and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

  • Combine vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Pour over vegetables and toss well.

  • Bring 3 cups of water and salt to a boil. Stir in rice and cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
