Step 1: Rice

Always wash rice before cooking, drain off excess water with sieve.

Gas Hob (100g rice with 150g water)

• Bring to boil on medium to high heat. (Take off the lid if the water starts to overspill.)
• Turn down to low, cover with lid and cook until water is fully absorbed. (approximately 10 minutes)
• Turn the gas off and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Microwave (100g rice with 200g water)

• Microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes with no lid
• Take out of the microwave, cover with lid and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2: Beef (while the rice is resting)

• Add a little oil to the wok/frying pan and place over medium heat.
• Cook Beef to 80% done.
• Take out of the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Vegetables and sauce

• Add a little oil to the same wok or frying pan over medium to high heat.
• Add in vegetables, season with salt and stir continuously for 1 minute.
• Add a little water, just to cover the bottom of the wok, and cook with lid on until the vegetables are softer, but still a little al dente.
• Put the beef back in with vegetables, add sauce then cook until beef is fully cooked.
