Utensils
•Grater
•Pot with Lid
Instructions
1
- Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
- Leave to cook for 12 mins, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Keep covered for another 12 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper, remove the core and seeds and thinly slice.
- Trim and thinly slice the pak choi widthways.
- Peel and grate the ginger (use a teaspoon to easily scrape away the peel).
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
3
- Place a pan over medium-high heat (without oil).
- Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks.
4
- Add the pepper to the pan with a drizzle of oil if necessary.
- Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Add the Thai spice and ginger and fry until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add the beef stock powder along with 75ml water (double for 4p).
- Stir in the pak choi. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half and the pak choi is tender, 3-4 mins.
5
- When the liquid has reduced, stir through the red Thai paste, ketjap manis and half the coriander.
- Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the mince has become too dry.
6
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Top with the Asian-inspired beef.
- Finish with a sprinkling of the remaining coriander.
