Method

  1. Cook rice

    • Rinse the rice.
    • Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the measured water to a pot with a lid.
    • Bring to a boil over a high heat.
    • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover.
    • Cook for 10-12 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
    • Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat.
    • Keep covered until serving.

  2. Prep

    • Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the onion.
    • Trim and finely slice the spring onion.
    • Deseed and slice the pepper into thin strips.
    • In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, sweet chilli sauce, tomato paste, ginger garlic paste, sugar and a pinch of chilli flakes (spicy!).
    • Set the chilli sauce aside.

    Tip: Sensitive to spice? Go easy on the chilli.

  3. Coat beef

    • Pat dry the steak strips.
    • In a large bowl, combine the egg and steak strips.
    • Add the corn starch, baking soda and a pinch of pepper.
    • Using a spoon, mix the corn starch and baking soda into the beef and egg mixture to form a batter that is fully coating the beef.

    Tip: The batter should be quite thick and sticky in texture.

  4. Fry beef

    • Heat a large non-stick pan with enough oil to cover the bottom over a medium-high heat.
    • Once hot, in batches add the beef. Fry for 3-5 min until crispy.
    • The beef should have thick and very crispy outer layer.
    • Once crispy, remove the beef from the pan, draining off as much oil as possible. Transfer to a plate with some kitchen paper.
    • Discard the remaining oil from the pan.
    • Wipe and reserve the pan.

    Tip: Try and separate the beef strips as best as possible when adding to the pan.

  5. Fry veg

    • Heat the reserved pan over a medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil.
    • Once hot, add the onion and pepper.
    • Fry for 3-4 min until slightly softened.
    • Add the chilli sauce and slightly reduce for 1 min.
    • Add the crispy beef and spring onions, coat in the sauce.
    • Cook for a further 1-2 min.

    Tip: Reducing the sauce helps make it extra sticky!

  6. Serve

    • Meanwhile, pick the coriander.
    • Serve the Crispy Chilli Beef on Jasmine Rice.
    • Garnish with the coriander and sesame seeds.
