Method

  1. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
  2. Meanwhile, to make the sauce, mix together the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar and cornflour.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. To serve, stir the spring onions into the stir-fry and divide onto two plates with a serving of jasmine rice.
