1. Copycat Panda Express Wok Seared Steak and Shrimp
I love Panda Express because they have brown rice amongst other things. A lot of their dishes are pretty agnostic to Asia in general and this is one of those. Mod, my Thai wife, helped by figuring out the sauce to use. It’s not exactly the same and we used a butane burner and different ingredients of course. It’s a close approximation, using healthier ingredients where possible.
