- Add 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
- Leave to cook for 12 mins, then remove the pot from the heat (still covered).
- Leave to the side for another 12 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Halve the bell pepper, remove the core and seeds and thinly slice.
- Trim and thinly slice the pak choi widthways.
- Peel and finely grate the ginger (use a teaspoon to easily scrape away the peel).
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Place a medium pan over medium-high heat (without oil).
- Once the pan is hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks.
- Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Add the onion and pepper to the pan with a drizzle of oil if necessary.
- Cook until softened, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Add the Thai spice and ginger and fry for 1 min.
- Add the beef stock powder along with 100ml water (double for 4p).
- Stir in the pak choi. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half and the pak choi is tender, 3-4 mins.
- When the liquid has reduced, stir through the red Thai paste, ketjap manis and half the coriander.
- Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Fluff up the rice with a fork.
- Share the rice between bowls and serve the beef on top.
- Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining coriander.
