Who said beef mince is just for bolognese? Give this juicy protein a Japanese-inspired twist by lacing it with ginger and oyster sauce and serving over jasmine rice. Complete the dish with zingy pickled onion and a dollop of creamy sesame aioli.
Unfortunately, this week’s Asian greens were in short supply, so we’ve replaced them with baby spinach leaves. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious!

In medium saucepan, bring the water to the boil. Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
Meanwhile, thinly slice onion (see ingredients). In small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and generous pinch of salt and sugar. Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover onion. Set aside.
Finely chop garlic. Trim and halve green beans. Grate the carrot. In small bowl, combine oyster sauce, the soy sauce and brown sugar. In second small bowl, combine garlic aioli and sesame dressing. Set aside.
In large frying pan, heat drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and ginger paste until fragrant, 1 minute. Add beef mince and sliced mushrooms and cook, breaking up mince with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add carrot and green beans and cook until starting to soften, 3-4 minutes. Add mixed leaves and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
Stir in oyster sauce mixture and cook, tossing, until beef and veggies are coated and sauce is heated through, 1 minute.
Drain pickled onion. Divide rice between bowls. Top with Japanese-style beef and mushrooms and some pickled onion. Serve with a dollop of sesame aioli.
