Steps

  1. Cook rice. Combine rice, water measure, a drizzle of sesame oil and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 8 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Prep beef veggies.
  3. Cook beef. Heat a drizzle of oil in a wok or fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion for about 3 minutes. Increase heat to high and add beef. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring, until browned and cooked through. Add ginger, garlic and carrot and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add Japanese beef sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until reduced. Season to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, prep salad. In a large bowl, combine salad ingredients with a drizzle of sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Season to taste.
  5. Serve rice topped with beef, salad, pink mayo and peanuts. Add a pinch of chilli flakes for adults if desired.
