4. You: Break the eggs into a large measuring cup. Throw away the shells. Beat the eggs with a fork until the whites and yolks are completely mixed together.

5. You: Put 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil into a small nonstick frying pan.

Grownup: Put the pan over a medium flame. Let it heat for about 1 minute. Pour about l/4 of the egg into the pan. Rotate the pan quickly so the egg spreads out in a thin layer on the bottom. Cook the egg for 1 minute. Using a wide spatula, flip the egg over and cook the other side for 1 minute. You now have an egg "pancake." Flip the pancake out onto a cutting board and leave it there to cool. Repeat until you have used up all the egg, adding a little more oil if needed. You should be able to make at least 4 pancakes. Leave them on the cutting board until cool enough to handle.

6. You: Put the egg pancakes on top of each other to make a neat stack. Roll up the stack tightly.

Grownup: Cut the roll into l/4-inch slices.

You: Put the slices into a medium-sized bowl, unroll them, and toss them around a little. They will look like a bunch of yellow ribbons. Set aside.

7. Grownup: Using a vegetable peeler, peel the carrots. Then cut them into julienne strips (small sticks about 2 inches long) with a knife or in a food processor. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high flame and stir-fry the carrots over high heat until tender. Empty the carrots into a bowl and set aside.

8. You: If you are using frozen spinach, squeeze some of the water out of it.

Grownup: If you are using fresh spinach, cook it for 2 minutes in a pot of boiling water, drain, and let cool for a few minutes, then squeeze some of the water out Put 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the frying pan and stir-fry the thawed or precooked spinach for 2–3 minutes until tender. Empty the spinach into a bowl, season it with salt and pepper, and set it aside.

9. You: Pour one cup of water into a large saucepan. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Grownup: Put the pan over high heat When the water boils, put the bean sprouts into the pan. Cover the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes. Drain the bean sprouts and empty them into a bowl.

10. Grownup: Put the large frying pan over high heat Heat the pan for about 30 seconds. Take the bowl of beef and marinade and dump it into the frying pan-all of it at once. When the beef hits the pan, it will sizzle loudly. (Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, spread the beef out in the pan. Stir for 2–3 minutes until all the red meat turns brown. Turn off the heat. There will be cooked beef and some gravy (meat juices) in the pan.

TO SERVE

Put the rice, the bowls of egg strips and vegetables, and the pan of meat where everyone can reach them.
