Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 300 grams (10.6 ounces) 5% fat beef mince
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 20 milliliters (0.7 fluid ounces) dark soy sauce
- 15 milliliters (0.5 fluid ounces) sriracha
- 10 grams (0.35 ounces) tomato puree
- 20 grams (0.7 ounces) honey
Base:
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) cooked rice
Optional Toppings:
- sliced spring onion
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Slice onions, bell peppers, and mince garlic with precision, creating uniform pieces for even cooking and balanced flavor distribution.
- Activate a skillet over medium-high temperature, introducing chopped onions and bell peppers to develop a golden caramelized foundation.
- Incorporate freshly minced garlic, allowing aromatic compounds to release and intensify the vegetable base with complex undertones.
- Introduce lean beef mince into the sizzling pan, breaking down protein strands and encouraging moisture evaporation for optimal browning and textural development.
- Craft a vibrant sauce by whisking together umami-rich soy sauce, fiery sriracha, robust tomato puree, golden honey, and a subtle water splash to balance consistency.
- Stream the dynamic sauce mixture over browned beef, allowing liquid components to reduce and create a glossy, clingy coating that amplifies flavor intensity.
- Fold perfectly cooked rice into the spicy beef mixture, ensuring each grain absorbs the complex sauce and becomes thoroughly heated.
- Elevate the dish’s visual appeal and textural contrast by scattering finely sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds across the surface, creating a professional presentation.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting sriracha sauce quantity for those with different spice tolerances.
- Swap beef mince with plant-based alternatives like crumbled tofu or lentils for vegetarian version.
- Use brown rice or cauliflower rice to create lower-carb or gluten-free variations of the dish.
- Toast sesame seeds briefly before sprinkling to enhance their nutty flavor and aromatic profile.
