Cooking Steps

1

• In a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice, a good pinch of salt and stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

2

• While the rice is cooking, finely chop celery. Drain sweetcorn. Roughly chop Asian greens. Slice lemon into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine sweet chilli and water (for the sauce). In a medium bowl, place beef strips, Southeast Asian spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add celery and corn and cook, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add Asian greens, ginger paste and the soy sauce and cook, tossing, until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Set aside in a bowl and cover to keep warm.

4

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add beef strips to the pan in batches and cook until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining beef strips.

TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over high heat helps it stay tender.

5

• Return all the beef strips and cooked diced bacon to the pan, remove from the heat and toss through the sweet chilli mixture until heated through and well combined.

6

• Divide rice between bowls. • Top with the ginger soy veggies and sweet chilli bacon and beef. • Tear over coriander (see ingredients). Serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
