Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables
Shred the butter lettuce into thin strips. Trim the enoki mushrooms and separate the strands. Slice the green onions diagonally for garnish.
Blanch the beef
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the sliced beef and cook for about 30 seconds until just cooked through. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the aromatics
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger and garlic, stir-frying until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Build the bowl
Divide the warm cooked millet between two bowls. Arrange the blanched beef, enoki mushrooms, and shredded lettuce on top. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil.
Finish and serve
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately while the millet is still warm.
