  • 25g sweet chilli sauce
  • 15g juice of ½ lime

  • 10g spring onions

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the red cabbage and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the basmati rice, then simmer in 2 parts water for 10-12 minutes, cover and steam off the heat for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Brown the lean beef mince in a hot pan for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up, then drain any excess fat.

  4. 4

    Combine the sweet chilli sauce, lime and soy, and toss through the protein and veg in the final minute of cooking.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the red cabbage and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: basmati rice first, then the veg and lean beef, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the spring onions.
