Servings
Equipment
- Saucepan + Lid
- Frying pan x2
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 750 g beef mince or any other mince
- 4 cloves garlic grated
- 1 inch fresh ginger grated
- 60 ml honey
- 60 ml soy sauce or tamari
- 30 ml sesame oil
- 1 tsp chili flakes optional
- 1 tsp sesame seeds optional
- 320 g Chinese mixed vegetables
- 200 g basmati rice 1 cup
- 1 lime garnish
- 3 spring onions sliced, garnish
- 10 g fresh coriander chopped, garnish
Instructions
- Rice: add the rice to the saucepan with a pinch of salt and the hot water (whatever amount of rice add double the amount of hot water), bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest until ready to use.
- TIP: if you can always include the vegetables with the mince if you don't want to wash another pan! Fry the vegetables in a pan with a splash of olive oil for a few minutes, then add a tablespoon of water to quickly steam them. Finish with a little drizzle of sesame oil and sesame seeds and reserve.
- Make the sauce; mix the honey, soy sauce, half the sesame oil and chili flakes if using, set aside.
- Add the mince, garlic and ginger into a hot pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes until cooked through and slightly tinged then add the sauce and simmer for a couple of more minutes until reduced.
- Taste and adjust; add more chilli if you want it spicier, more soy sauce if you want it saltier, finally serve on rice garnished with coriander, spring onions.
