Add tons of flavour to beef mince with a moreish sauce that's the perfect balance of savoury, sweet and zingy flavours. Serve over rice to soak up the deliciousness, and top it all off with pickled onion, plus cucumber for crunch and to cut the richness.

Cooking Steps
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to the boil. Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
While rice is cooking, thinly slice red onion (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and a generous pinch of salt and sugar. Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add it to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover onion. Set aside.
Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice celery. Trim green beans, then cut into thirds. Grate the carrot. In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, the soy sauce and brown sugar. In a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Japanese dressing. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and ginger paste until fragrant, 1 minute. Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add carrot and green beans and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the sauce in the next step!
Stir in the oyster sauce mixture and cook, tossing, until beef and veggies are coated and sauce is heated through.
Drain pickled onion. Divide jasmine rice between bowls. Top with Japanese-style beef, pickled onion and sliced cucumber. Serve with a dollop of Japanese mayo.
