Make a Princess Leia Rice Bowl for Your Next Star Wars: A New Hope Rewatch!

• Cooked rice
• 1 sheet nori (dried seaweed)
• Red bell pepper

• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 lb thinly sliced rib eye
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 Tablespoons water

Step 2: Add the oil and sliced rib eye to a skillet over medium high heat. Cook until just browned.

Step 3: In a small bowl stir together the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and garlic. Pour over the beef. And cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Pour in the cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil just until the sauce thickens.

Step 5: Place the rice in a bowl. Add slices of meat to create the top of the hairstyle. For the sides, roll up a slice of meat to create a rose-like shape. Place on both sides of the bowl.

Step 6: Cut pieces of nori to create the eyes and a small piece of red bell pepper for the mouth, to serve.
