Cooking Steps

Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring 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, roughly chop zucchini. Trim and halve green beans. Finely chop garlic. Crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) with a pestle and mortar, or in their sachet using a rolling pin.

In a small bowl, combine corn flour (see ingredients), the rice wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, sesame oil blend, brown sugar, soy sauce and a splash of water.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook green beans, tossing, until slightly tender, 1-2 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until tender, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, until browned, 1-2 minutes (cook in batches if pan is getting crowded). Add garlic, ginger paste, crushed black peppercorns, chilli flakes (if using) and 1/2 the spring onion. Cook, tossing, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add capsicum and the sauce mixture and cook until sauce is thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add Sichuan garlic paste and toss to combine.

TIP: You may find the peppercorns spicy. Use less if you're sensitive to heat!
