Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water (for the rice) and the salt, stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, roughly chop the Asian greens. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Finely grate the ginger. In a small bowl, combine the ginger, oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey and water (for the sauce). Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the Asian greens and the remaining garlic until tender, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste. Transfer to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm.
Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the beef mince, breaking it up with a spoon until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the carrot and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the honey-soy sauce mixture and cook until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
While the beef is cooking, add the garlic aioli, sesame oil blend (see ingredients) and shredded cabbage mix to a large bowl. Season with pepper and toss to coat.
Divide the garlic rice between bowls and top with the honey-soy beef, Asian greens and sesame slaw. Spoon over any remaining sauce from the pan. Garnish with the crispy shallots.
