Instructions
- Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and broth concentrate to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add beef, panko, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) Moo Shu Spice Blend and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a large bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a more tender meatball, add an egg to mixture.)
- Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 meatballs for 4 ppl).
- Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the top of the oven, turning halfway, until cooked through, 12-14 min.**
- Meanwhile, separate bok choy leaves, then cut into 1-inch pieces. (TIP: Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any hidden dirt.)
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers begin to soften, 1 min.
- Add bok choy. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Add sweet chili sauce, garlic and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water to the same pan.
- Bring sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add meatballs and sesame oil.
- Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and meatballs are coated, 1 min.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in green onions, half the cashews and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
- Divide rice between bowls. Top with veggies and meatballs.
- Spoon any remaining sauce over top meatballs.
- Sprinkle with remaining cashews.
