Instructions
- Chop the Vegetables: Chop the onion and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
- Cook Vegetables: Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking for 1-2 minutes until just starting to soften while maintaining crunch.
- Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook Beef: Add the beef mince to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the liquid evaporates completely and the beef is nicely browned with crispy edges, about 4-5 minutes.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, sriracha, tomato puree, honey, and 1-2 tablespoons of water. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Add Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the browned beef. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Incorporate Rice: Stir in the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until every grain is coated with sauce and heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the spiciness of the dish by varying the amount of sriracha sauce used.
- For a vegetarian option, you can substitute the beef mince with plant-based alternatives like tofu or textured vegetable protein.
