Scale
Main Ingredients
- 300g 5% fat beef mince
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 20ml dark soy sauce
- 15ml sriracha
- 10g tomato puree
- 20g honey
- 250g cooked rice
Optional Toppings
- Sliced spring onion
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Chop the onion, bell pepper, and garlic finely to ensure even cooking and release of flavors.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chopped onion and bell pepper for 1-2 minutes to soften them. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, infusing the oil with aroma.
- Cook Beef Mince: Add the lean beef mince to the pan and cook thoroughly, stirring frequently until all moisture evaporates and the beef is nicely browned, creating a rich flavor base.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together dark soy sauce, sriracha, tomato puree, honey, and a splash of water to balance the flavors and create a cohesive sauce.
- Combine Sauce and Beef: Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the cooked beef and vegetables. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly, enhancing the flavor and texture.
- Add Rice: Stir in the cooked rice, mixing thoroughly to ensure each grain is coated with the sauce and heated through for a consistent, flavorful dish.
- Garnish and Serve: Finally, top with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds to add a fresh crunch and nutty aroma, rounding out the dish beautifully.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked rice or refrigerate cooked rice overnight for the best texture.
- Adjust sriracha quantity to suit your preferred spice level.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute dark soy sauce with tamari.
- Adding a splash of water to the sauce helps achieve the desired sauce consistency.
- Serve immediately for the best crispiness in the beef and vegetables.
