Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • rice cakes 200g
  • beef sirloin 200g
  • shallots 4~5
  • mini cabbages 4~5
  • button mushrooms 4
  • green onion 1 stalk
  • soy sauce 3 tbsp
  • sugar 1.5 tbsp
  • minced garlic 2 tbsp
  • water 1.5 cups
  • pepper a pinch
  • sesame oil 1 tbsp
  • foie gras mousse as needed
  • chives a pinch
  • olive oil as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Soak the rice cakes in water 1 hour before cooking. Cut shallots, mini cabbages, and button mushrooms in half.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan. Place shallots and mini cabbages cut-side down and cook over medium heat until golden brown. Remove from pan.
  3. In the same pan, add button mushrooms and large chunks of green onion. Cook until translucent, then set aside.
  4. Season the beef sirloin with salt and pepper. Sear quickly over high heat on both sides to lock in juices. Rest, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  5. In the pan with residual flavor from meat and vegetables, add water, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil.
  6. Once the sauce is bubbling, add the soaked rice cakes and simmer until fully softened, reducing the sauce.
  7. When the rice cakes are tender, add the pre-grilled shallots, mini cabbages, button mushrooms, and green onion. Simmer together for 2-3 minutes to coat evenly.
  8. Just before turning off the heat, drizzle sesame oil and mix. Plate the rice cakes and vegetables, top with the steak and foie gras mousse, and sprinkle chopped chives. Serve.
  1. Soak rice cakes and prepare vegetables by cutting them in half.
  2. Grill shallots, mini cabbages, mushrooms, and green onion separately in olive oil until golden; set aside.
  3. Sear beef sirloin quickly on high heat, rest, and slice into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Boil water, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and pepper in the pan, then add soaked rice cakes and cook.
  5. Once rice cakes are done, add grilled vegetables and simmer. Finish with sesame oil, top with steak, foie gras mousse, and chives.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Grilling each vegetable individually without overcrowding ensures they retain moisture and develop a charred aroma and crunchy texture.
  • If foie gras mousse (or spread) is unavailable, substitute with high-quality butter or cream cheese for a similarly rich and creamy flavor.
