Sun Bird Mongolian Beef - Review



This was a HIT!  And sooooo easy!!!  Reagan asked for seconds - if you know Reagan you know this is HUGE!  LOL

This is the packet, made by Sun Bird:


I can only find this at WalMart - HEB does not carry this flavor, although they do carry Sun Bird.  Not sure if other HEBs carry this, ours for sure does not... don't get me started on that though!  LOL...  

So, back to the food :0)

We followed the directions exactly, and they are printed on the back of the packet - but so you know before you buy or track this down, here is a list of ingredients and directions...

Ingredients:

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp water
1b beef (we used flank steak), thinly sliced
2 Tbsp oil
1 bunch green onions, roughly chopped
cooked rice

Directions:

Combine seasoning packet with soy sauce and water, mix thoroughly and set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.  Add beef and cook until browned.  Leave all juice IN the pan.

Stir in the sauce mix and continue to cook until the meat is fully coated and the sauce has thickened.  

Stir in green onion chunks and continue to cook until slightly wilted (or to personal preference.  I like them less cooked, Kyle likes them more fully cooked.)

Serve over cooked white rice.

VIOLA!

It took us about 25 minutes from slicing the beef to eating and it was REALLY good.  I love meals like this b/c they are so easy and relatively healthy and hearty.  The packet itself has about 100 calories, so whatever you add with the meat, soy and oil is all it has in it.  I don't really count calories, but that sounds OK to me!!

Have you tried any other Sun Bird packets or are you curious about some??

Previously we've tried their Fried Rice, Hot & Spicy Kung Pao, Honey Sesame Chicken and the Teriyaki Marinade.  They are not all as good as this one, LOL... the Teriyaki Marinade we did on chicken wings and that was literally the first meal of our life that we threw out and ordered pizza!!  We've had just a couple of those in six years, not too bad, LOL - but that was horrible!  The Fried Rice is OK but making homemade fried rice is really very simple and SO much better!!
