Cooking Steps

1
1

• Rinse and drain white rice. • Add the water (for the rice) to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. • Add white rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don’t peek.

• While the rice is cooking, finely chop garlic. • In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of the vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add slaw mix. Toss to combine and set aside. • In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, ginger paste, garlic, the brown sugar, soy sauce and water (for the sauce).

Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the slaw and combining the ingredients for the sauce mixture!

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook beef mince (no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in oyster sauce mixture, then cook until combined, 1 minute. Season with pepper.

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by dolloping the mayonnaise and tearing over the mint!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many found it delicious, with some praising the tasty sauce. A few thought it bland; adding chilli or extra seasoning boosted flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Customers loved how quick, simple, and easy this dish was to prepare. Even a 14-year-old successfully cooked it for the family.
  • Suggestions: Several suggested adding extra vegetables for nutrition. Some preferred different rice types like jasmine or basmati for better texture.
  • Portions: A few noted there wasn't quite enough mince for two people. Adding 250g more meat would ensure everyone gets a decent amount.
  • Slaw: Opinions varied; some enjoyed the crunch, while others found it overpowering. Finely chopping the cabbage improved the texture.
