Ingredients

  • 1 Pack beef mince
  • 150g Basmati rice - or two packs of precooked rice
  • 1/2 Pack mangetout
  • 1/2 Pack chestnut mushrooms - sliced
  • 1/2 Red pepper - sliced
  • 1/2 Yellow pepper - sliced
  • 2tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Clove of garlic - minced

Method

  1. In a heavy bottomed frying pan cook the beef over a medium-high heat until it has all browned nicely.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and clear a little area in the pan to add the minced garlic.
  3. Once the garlic starts to soften and colour add the sugar and soy sauce and keep stirring to coat the beef.
  4. Now turn the heat up again, add the vegetables and keep stirring. The beef should start to crisp up a little while the vegetables cook. The vegetables can still have a little bite so this shouldn’t take too long.
  5. Cook the rice following the instructions on the packet - you could use precooked packet rice if you like.
