So many Asian dishes I cook are super fast stir fries. But this slow cook version is dense and rich and ….delicious!
Get it on in your lunch break for a dinner time feast.

Use 2 forks to coarsely shred the beef. Return the beef to the rice mixture in the slow cooker. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until heated through.
