Method
- Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, mix together the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar and cornflour.
- Lightly season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a wok (or large frying pan) and stir-fry the beef strips on a high heat for 2 minutes, or until browned. Remove the beef strips from the wok and set aside.
- Add 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok and stir-fry the garlic, ginger and chilli for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add 1 tbsp of water. Stir in the carrot and mangetout and fry for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Return the beef to the wok and pour in the sauce. Fry for 1 minute, or until the sauce reduces and develops a thicker consistency.
- To serve, stir the spring onions into the stir-fry and divide onto two plates with a serving of jasmine rice.
