Cinnamon & Ginger Beef Bowl

June 4, 2020

This delicious broth can stand up to any veggies you'd like to include. We love using baby bok choy or Li Ren choy for the cuteness factor! If you're using "real" rice wine with no added sugar, you need to add a little bit to balance out the flavors. If you're using grocery story Mirin with sweetner already added, you can leave the extra sugar out of the broth.
