Hot Cooked Rice

Hot Cooked Rice

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
2 cups water

Directions:
Cut and discard most of the fat from the beef. Cut the beef with the grain
into 2-inch strips, then cut the strips across the grain into 1/4-inch
slices. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
Prepare Hot Cooked Rice. While the rice is cooking, continue with the
recipe.
Heat the skillet over high heat 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oil to the hot
skillet. If using a wok, rotate it to coat the side with oil. Add the beef
and garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry with a turner or large spoon about 3
minutes, lifting and stirring constantly, until beef is brown.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over beef, and stir in the broth. Heat to boiling
over high heat.
Mix the cornstarch, water and soy sauce, and stir into the beef mixture.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Continue
boiling 1 minute, stirring constantly. The sauce will be thin.
Stir in the gingerroot and pea pods. Cook uncovered about 2 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until pea pods are crisp-tender when pierced with a
fork. Serve over rice.
HOT COOKED RICE:
Heat the rice and water to boiling in the saucepan over high heat,
stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once mixture is boiling, reduce
heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook about 15
minutes or until rice is fluffy and tender.
