Ingredients

  • 100g British beef mince
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp gochujang paste (Korean fermented soybean chilli paste, from most large supermarkets), sriracha or similar chilli sauce, plus extra to serve
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Toasted sesame oil for frying
  • 200g pack stir-fry vegetables
  • 60g baby leaf spinach
  • 1 large free-range egg
  • 130g pouch steamed basmati rice
  • Sesame seeds to serve
  • Kimchi to serve (optional; we like Kim Kong kimchi from Planet Organic and Amazon Fresh)

Method

  1. Using a wooden spoon, combine the beef mince, garlic, vinegar, gochujang and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Heat a glug of sesame oil in a wok or frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mince and stir fry over a high heat for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
  2. Wipe out the pan, add another splash of sesame oil, add the stir-fry vegetables and cook, stirring, over a high heat for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften. Add the spinach and a splash of water and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  3. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl. Heat another splash of sesame oil in the same pan, then crack in the egg and fry for 3-4 minutes until the white is set and crisp at the edges. Meanwhile, heat the rice according to the pack instructions.
  4. Put the rice in a shallow bowl, top with the beef mince and vegetables, followed by the fried egg. Drizzle with a little extra gochujang (or other chilli sauce), thinned with a little hot water, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with kimchi alongside, if using.
