Javier celebrated his birthday last week and he wanted to invite his cousins ( since their parents were out of town ) and his Ninong Quito over

  We decided to serve our newly discovered homemade Beef Pepper Rice.  My three boys love Pepper Lunch, so in search of dishes I have to think of that they will like, I decided to try and make Beef Pepper Rice at home! We all know it will never be the same…. but for something homemade, they liked it!! Whew! What a relief!  

So this is dedicated to my friends, Jeroen and Cecile who own Pepper Lunch! And of course we will still go to Pepper Lunch to have the real thing!

Javier was looking for his cake… I was not prepared! as we were really supposed to have his celebration on Sunday, so he got his own candle

and he thought of it himself to make his own cake with Golden Spoon yogurt - Cake batter and just chocolate!

Everyone of course wanted Golden Spoon also, so that was for dessert It’s a good thing we always have stock in our freezer!

This is how we made our version of Beef Pepper Rice:

I showed my cook, Edna, the photo of Beef Pepper Rice from the mousepad Cecile gave me during the launch of Pepper Lunch Shangri-la  ( Pepper Lunch Launch Feb 4, 2009 )

 

I told her to just copy how it looked

  I had her get all my hardly used sizzling plates which came in different designs

Then I had to buy 5 more to accomodate the guests who were coming over

For the beef, I just used Australian Shabu Shabu beef - sliced like Shabu Shabu so it is thin. You can also use sukiyaki beef.  

But next time, I will try Wagyu or a better kind of beef so the kids will be happier

I bought fresh Japanese corn 

 

and we bought Japanese Yakiniku sauces - There was spicy, sweet and then regular - James said that it is best when mixed all together - so that is what we will do next time rather than having all three bottles then adding them one by one.  I bought them at Shopwise 

 I brought out my salts, pepper and Bragg’s ( in place of Knorr or Maggi )- this is for those who still want to add taste

 and imported Japanese rice
