3. Cook on HIGH (1200W) for 5 – 6 minutes.

4. Stir the ingredients together and serve. Garnish plates with cilantro sprigs.

* Buy in the Asian section of the Market
* When using plastic wrap as a cover, poke a hole in the center to release the steam.
* Microwave's rapid high-heat cooking, traps the beef's flavorful taste.
