Ingredients

Scale

  • 300 g lean beef mince (5% fat)

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 20 ml dark soy sauce

  • 15 ml sriracha

  • 10 g tomato purée

  • 20 g honey

  • 250 g cooked rice

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced spring onions

  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables
    Chop the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Set aside.

  2. Sauté the Vegetables
    Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 1–2 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Cook the Beef
    Add the beef mince to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned and most of the liquid has evaporated.

  4. Make the Sauce
    In a small bowl, mix the dark soy sauce, sriracha, tomato purée, honey, and a small splash of water.

  5. Add the Sauce
    Pour the sauce into the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes until it thickens and coats the beef evenly.

  6. Combine with Rice
    Add the cooked rice and stir well until everything is evenly mixed and heated through.

  7. Serve
    Garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds if desired, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Get the beef crispy: Let the beef cook undisturbed for short moments so it browns properly.

  • Adjust the heat: Reduce or increase the sriracha to suit your spice preference.

  • Use day-old rice: Slightly dry rice gives the best texture and prevents sogginess.

  • Add more vegetables: Peas, carrots, zucchini, or green beans work very well in this dish.
