This is my second recipe as a member of the The Food Matters Project. Last week, I just did not have enough time to track down my ingredients but this week, normalcy returns and I managed to get everything although, I was one orange short. I had no vision what this would like or taste like and I admit, I was happily surprised. I am not sure why I am surprised since Marc Bittman has not steered me wrong and I trust in his recipes, especially with the choices he suggests.
Dominica of Wine Food Love chose Mark Bittman’s Seared Bean Sprouts with Beef and Sesame Orange Sauce. You can find the recipe at Wine Food Love.
I made this dish and served it on soba noodles which was a good mix. Alternatives are rice or quinoa and I think all three would be yummy. I followed this recipe almost exactly. I was short that orange so I did not have as much zest and I added some juice from the container to the fresh orange juice to make enough for cooking. The citrus flavor turned out to come through clearly and we like that. The honey gave it very slight sweet taste and all the flavors blended beautifully. This is a winning recipe.

I wanted to try it over soba noodles, but didn’t have any. Cappellini had to suffice. Glad you’ve joined the fun.
Subbing oj from the container is definitely the next best thing.
I meant to make mine w/ soba noodles…but never got to the market to pick some up. Rice was a good match, though. Yours looks like it turned out delicous!
-grin- I’ll be painfully honest here… It doesn’t look all that appetizing. But betcha’ it’s delish. Can not judge a book, by its cover and all that jazzzzz.

Bet this was so good with the soba noodles!
I bet it was delicious over the noodles. I was going to go that route but I realized I was out at the last minute!
Oh wow this sounds amazing
Looks beautiful too!
