Instructions

Step 1

Peel the cucumber into ribbons and finely slice the radishes. Place into a bowl and dress in 2 tbsp rice vinegar and 2 tsp toasted sesame oil. Leave to one side.

Step 2

Slice your peppers, garlic, diced red chilli, carrots and spring onion. Leave to one side.

Step 3

Mix together the sauce ingredients, add 2 tbsp water and set to one side.

Step 4

Heat a pan until very hot, add the mince and break up using a wooden spoon. Crumble in 1/2 beef stock cube for extra flavour and once browned remove the mince but keep the pan on the heat.

Step 5

Add in the vegetables, chilli and garlic, 1 tbsp water to deglaze the pan and saute for a few minutes. Add back in the beef, tip in the toss and toss to coat and thicken everything. Taste and adjust to your preference adding soy if needed.

Step 6

To serve, plate up some rice, 1/4 sliced avocado, a handful of salad, and 1/4 of the beef mix. Top with extra spring onion.
