Cooking Steps

1
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. • Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12 minutes. Drain.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice long chilli (if using). • In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and a generous pinch of sugar and salt. Add chilli to pickling liquid. Add just enough water to cover chilli, then set aside. • Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice celery. Thinly slice carrot into half moons. Trim and halve green beans. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic, ginger paste, the soy sauce and honey. Add beef strips, tossing to coat. Set aside.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook celery, carrot and green beans, stirring, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer veggies to a medium bowl. Add Japanese style dressing, tossing to coat. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches (shake off any excess marinade as you go), until browned, 1-2 minutes.

TIP: Cooking the beef in batches over high heat helps it stay tender.

• Drain pickled chilli. • Divide rice between bowls. Top with Japanese-style beef and veggies. • Serve with a spoonful of pickled chilli and a dollop of coconut sweet chilli mayonnaise. Enjoy!

TIP: Some like it hot, but if you don’t just hold back on the chilli!
