You will need to serve 4

500g high quality lean beef mince

1 large red pepper or 2 small

4 spring onions

2 cloves of garlic

1/2 red chilli

2 carrots, julienned

1 cumber

Handful radishes

Sesame seeds

1 avocado

Rice to serve (I cheat and use precooked)

1/2 beef stock cube

For the sauce

3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

3 tbsp low-sugar tomato ketchup

4 tbsp rice vinegar

1 heaped tsp honey

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 tsp ginger puree

1 heaped tsp corn flour

1/2 tsp Chinese 5 spice

Peel the cucumber into ribbons and finely slice the radishes. Place into a bowl and dress in 2 tbsp rice vinegar and 2 tsp toasted sesame oil. Leave to one side.

Slice your peppers, garlic, diced red chilli, carrots and spring onion. Leave to one side.

Directions

Mix together the sauce ingredients, add 2 tbsp water and set to one side.

Heat a pan until very hot, add the mince and break up using a wooden spoon. Crumble in 1/2 beef stock cube for extra flavour and once browned remove the mince but keep the pan on the heat.

Add in the vegetables, chilli and garlic, 1 tbsp water to deglaze the pan and sauté for a few minutes. Add back in the beef, tip in the toss and toss to coat and thicken everything. Taste and adjust to your preference adding soy if needed.

To serve, plate up some rice, 1/4 sliced avocado, a handful of salad, and 1/4 of the beef mix. Top with extra spring onion.
