Cooking Steps

1

Thinly slice red onion (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar (for the onion) and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover the onion, then set aside. Finely chop garlic. Grate the carrot. Shred the cos lettuce.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook beef mince, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes.

Add garlic, ginger paste and sesame seeds to the beef and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add oyster sauce, the soy sauce and brown sugar, stirring to combine. Cook until thickened slightly, 1 minute. Remove from heat. Transfer 1/2 the beef to a bowl and reserve for lunch.

When it's time for lunch, drain sweetcorn. Trim sugar snap peas and slice in half. Cut lime in half. To bowl with the reserved beef, add microwavable basmati rice, sweetcorn and snap peas. Stir to combine, then divide between two reusable containers. Top with lime. Pack sweet chilli sauce and crushed peanuts separately. At lunchtime, remove lime from containers. Microwave beef mixture until piping hot, 2-3 minutes. Top with sweet chilli sauce, crushed peanuts and a squeeze of lime to serve.
