Savory Beef Stir-Fry
  1. 1

    Dissolve the beef bouillon cube in boiling water in a large bowl. Stir the soy sauce, cornstarch, teriyaki sauce, and sugar into the water. Add the beef strips to the soy sauce mixture and stir until the beef is fully coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the vegetables in the hot oil briefly, about 1 minute. Stir the water chestnuts into the vegetable mixture, cover the skillet, and simmer until the vegetables are hot, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl, keeping the juices in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Pour the beef with the soy sauce marinade into the hot skillet; cook and stir until fully browned, about 5 minutes. Return the vegetable mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook and stir until completely hot, about 2 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
