Introduction
This video shares a rich lunch prepared effortlessly at home on a rainy day, featuring delicious stir-fried mussels with Thai basil, spicy spinach sautéed in the mussel cooking juices, tender braised tofu, flavorful pesto mushrooms, and quickly microwave-cooked pesto beef rib fingers—simple, time-saving, and tasty.
Step 1
【Pesto Beef Rib Fingers】 Sear the beef rib finger chunks in a pan to lock in the juices, then transfer to a heat-resistant ceramic bowl and cover. Microwave at 1000W in intervals (3 minutes each, totaling about 12 minutes) until fully cooked and tender.
Step 2
【Stir-fried Mussels with Thai Basil】 Sauté garlic with a little oil in a wok over medium heat, then add some broth and bring to a boil.
Step 3
【Stir-fried Mussels with Thai Basil】 Add the cleaned mussels to the wok, sprinkle with rice wine to remove any fishy smell, cover, and steam until they naturally open.
Step 4
【Spicy Spinach】 While the mussels are steaming, wash the mountain spinach, trim the roots (save for soup), and cut the leaves and tender stems into pieces.
Step 5
【Stir-fried Mussels with Thai Basil】 Open the lid, drizzle with a little sesame oil, add the fresh Thai basil, toss quickly until fragrant, and plate.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Using a microwave for the beef rib fingers utilizes the food's own moisture to cook it rapidly, achieving a tender, stew-like texture in a short time.
🔥 The juices left in the pan after cooking mussels are packed with umami; using them directly to stir-fry vegetables enhances the flavor significantly without needing extra seasoning.
⚠️ When pan-frying tofu, avoid flipping it too often. Wait until one side is set and golden-brown to ensure the shape remains intact.
