Mom’s Tips

The filet mignon can be replaced with rump or sirloin.

Tofu is a soy cheese also widely used in the preparation of broths, soups and salads.

Harussame is a thin, almost transparent noodle made from bean starch.

You can replace the chives with 1 leek and the spinach with watercress.

You can also replace beef with fish, chicken or seafood.

A wok is a typical oriental pan with a concave bottom and high sides, which allows for quick food preparation. It can be replaced by a large frying pan.

Approximate yield of the dish is 5 servings.
