• Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
• Wash and dry all produce.
• To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
• Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
• To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
• Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

• Meanwhile, prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Open one side of the package of crispy shallots. Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pot, crush crispy shallots in the package until broken into small crumbs.
• To a large bowl, add beef, half the Moo Shu Spice Blend, crispy shallot crumbs, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) pepper, then combine. 
• Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
• On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs.

• Roast meatballs in the top of the oven for 12 - 14 min or until browned and cooked through.**

• Meanwhile, zest, then juice lime.
• Heat a large non-stick pan over high-heat.
• While the pan heats, trim snow peas.
• Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, remaining Moo Shu Spice Blend, vinegar and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water. (NOTE: This is your peanut sauce!)
• When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers, snow peas and lime juice. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a plate.

• Reduce heat to medium. To the same pan, add prepared sauce mixture (from step 4). Cook for 30 sec, stirring occasionally, until peanut butter has melted and sauce is well combined.
• Add meatballs to the pan. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until meatballs are coated.

• Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lime zest.
• Divide rice between plates. Top with veggies and meatballs.
• Pour any remaining peanut sauce over meatballs.

If you've opted to get beef, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook turkey.**
