Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
- Boil a kettle. Finely grate the garlic and ginger. Dissolve 1 tbsp cornflour in a jug with 50ml cold water (25ml for 1 person). Add the stock cube and top up with 200ml boiling water (100ml for 1 person). Add 1/4 tsp of the five-spice, ginger, garlic and hoisin. Mix well.
- To a large bowl, add the beef strips, 1/4 tsp five-spice and 1 tbsp cornflour. Season with sea salt. Mix well. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat, then add the beef and cook for 5-6 mins, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the pepper and spring onions. Cut the broccoli into florets. Trim the pak choi and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Clean the pan, then reheat with 1 tbsp oil on a medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and pepper and cook for 5-7 mins. Add the stock and cook for 2-3 mins, until thickened, then add the pak choi and beef. Cook for 2-3 mins, coating everything in the sauce. Season to taste with sea salt.
- Serve the rice alongside the beef and vegetables. Scatter over the spring onions.
