Cooking Tips: Wrap steak in plastic wrap; freeze for 15 minutes before slicing. It makes thinly slicing beef easy. If you want to use ground ginger it's best to keep one rule in mind. For best results, substitute only half the ground ginger in recipe with fresh ginger. Raw green onions have, in a small number of instances, been connected to food-borne illness. The only reliable way to eliminate this risk is to cook green onions thoroughly. Saute in a skillet for 2 mintues.
