Main Ingredients- Thinly sliced beef for shabu-shabu (frozen)
- Peeled and deveined shrimp
- Bean sprouts
- Your favorite vegetables (e.g., bok choy, mushrooms)
Sauce- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp minced spicy green chili (optional, for heat)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp minced spicy green chili (optional, for heat)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your thinly sliced beef, preferably a cut like chuck eye roll, which can be used directly from frozen. For the base of your steamed dish, generously layer a generous amount of crisp bean sprouts at the bottom of your multi-cooker pot.
Step 2
Next, arrange the prepared shrimp over the bed of bean sprouts, ensuring they are layered evenly. The shrimp will add a wonderful sweetness and texture as they cook.
Step 3
Now, carefully arrange the beef slices on top of the shrimp and bean sprouts. (Tip: A 26cm diameter steamer is generously sized for a family of 3-4). Since the vegetables will wilt significantly during steaming, it’s best to pack them in generously, even if they seem to mound above the rim of the pot.
Step 4
When packed this full, the lid might not close completely at first. However, as the vegetables cook and shrink, the contents will settle, and the lid should close securely. It’s a satisfying part of the steaming process!
Step 5
Once your multi-cooker begins to heat up, the magic of steaming will begin. You’ll soon see steam rising, signaling a delicious meal is on its way.
Step 6
Steam for approximately 20 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the shrimp are cooked through and pink. Steamed dishes are best enjoyed immediately while piping hot!
Step 7
While the steaming is in progress, you can prepare some side dishes to complement your meal. Serve the steamed dish directly from the multi-cooker (keeping the lid on to maintain warmth) for a delightful and cozy dining experience.
