Texture options
Each texture has its own ingredients and method. Choose one to switch the whole recipe.
AI-drafted texture method — not from the recipe book and not clinically approved. Texture suitability should be confirmed according to the resident's individual swallowing and dietary requirements and the facility's clinical/dietetic processes.
Requires Clinical or Recipe Review
Draft for approximately 50 serves. Quick stir-frying may leave this beef chewy; use extended moist cooking and verify tenderness. Remove the fibrous bamboo garnish and capsicum skins. Rice requires a separate assessed recipe.
