Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiled water. Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12 minutes. • Drain, then return to saucepan. Add the butter and stir until melted.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help fill the saucepan with the boiled water. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• While rice is cooking, roughly chop zucchini. • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir fry zucchini, carrot and trimmed green beans until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Increase heat to high with another drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef strips, in batches, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Add ginger paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat. Stir in Sichuan garlic paste sauce and the soy sauce.
TIP: Cooking the beef in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
• Divide rice between bowls. Top with Sichuan-style beef stir-fry. • Sprinkle with crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the garnish!
