Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water (for the rice) to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the red onion. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the snow peas and slice in half. Pick the basil leaves and thinly slice. In a small bowl, combine the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.
When the rice has 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. When the oil is hot, add 1/2 the beef strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining beef strips. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat allows it to brown and develop flavour and keeps it tender.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the red onion and carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the snow peas and water (for the veggies) and cook, tossing, for 2-3 minutes or until just tender
Add the roasted cashews and sweet chilli mixture to the pan. Cook, stirring regularly, for 1-2 minutes or until combined. Return the beef strips and any resting juices to the pan. Toss through to coat, then remove from the heat
Divide the jasmine rice between bowls, top with the Thai beef stir-fry and garnish with the basil.
