Instructions

1. In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
2. While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with Sriracha to taste.
3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and a big pinch of salt. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Stir in cabbage and carrot mix, scallion whites, sweet soy glaze, and sesame dressing. Cook until veggies are softened, beef is cooked through, and sauce has thickened, 2-4 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
4. Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper. Divide rice between bowls. Top with beef mixture and any remaining sauce from pan. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo. Sprinkle with crispy fried onions and scallion greens. Serve.
