Cooking Steps
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook ginger paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove 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 the rice is cooking, thinly slice capsicum and onion. Trim green beans and cut into thirds. Grate the carrot. In a medium bowl, combine Sichuan garlic paste, the rice wine vinegar, the soy sauce and the water (for the sauce).
When the rice has 15 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Cook capsicum, green beans, carrot and onion, until tender, 6-8 minutes. Season, then transfer to a bowl.
Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in Sichuan sauce and simmer, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Return cooked veggies to pan, stirring to combine.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the garlic paste.
Refrigerate two portions of stir-fry for the kids' dinner. Divide ginger rice and Sichuan beef stir-fry between bowls. Tear over herbs. Drizzle over sesame dressing. Sprinkle with roasted cashews to serve.
When you're ready to serve the kids' dinner, fill mini flour tortillas with reserved stir-fry. Reheat in the microwave for 60-90 second bursts, until warmed through. Meanwhile, roughly chop mixed leaves. Fill tacos with spinach. Drizzle over garlic aioli. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve.
