Equipment

  • large non-stick pan
  • cutting board
  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

Cashews

  • ⅓ cup roasted cashews unsalted (or peanuts)

Oil

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or other plain cooking oil

Beef

  • 500 g beef mince (ground beef)

Vegetables

  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 3 tablespoon coriander/cilantro leaves roughly chopped (sub green onion)

Sweet Chilli Stir Fry Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce (I use Trident)
  • 2 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoon rice vinegar (sub cider vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

Sweet Chilli Drizzle Sauce

  • 1 clove garlic minced using garlic crusher
  • 3 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tablespoon lime juice (sub rice vinegar when limes are crazy expensive)
  • 2 teaspoon fish sauce

Serving

  • 2 batches jasmine rice or other plain rice of choice
  • steamed or fresh veg (chopped cucumber, coriander/cilantro, red onion finely sliced)

Instructions
 

Full Recipe

  • Drizzle sauce - Mix the ingredients in a bowl, set aside.
  • Stir fry sauce - Mix the ingredients in a separate bowl, set aside.
  • Toast cashews - Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the cashews and toast for 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board then roughly chop once cool.
  • Cook beef - Heat the oil in the same pan over high heat. Add the garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until you no longer see raw meat.
  • Sauce it! Add the cooking sauce and cook well, stirring, until it mostly reduces down so the sauce caramelises on the beef, about 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Serve the beef over rice with a side of veg. Douse everything with the sauce, top with cashews and coriander.
  • To eat, jumble everything up then dig in!

Notes

Toasting cashews brings out their flavor. Fish sauce and oyster sauce add depth of flavor. Drizzle sauce enhances any vegetable.
