It’s been a Chinese restaurant staple for years and now it’s time to master it in your own kitchen. For the perfect result, make sure your pan is searing hot before adding the beef. Don’t be afraid to only cook the veggies for a few minutes either — you want them to keep a little bite.

The recent wet and cold weather across New Zealand has impacted our regular supply of fresh ingredients and as such, what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

• Meanwhile, drain sweetcorn (see ingredients). Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop Asian greens. • In a small bowl, combine char siu paste, oyster sauce, the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and a dash of water. Set aside. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

TIP: Cooking meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.

Little cooks: Kids can help out with measuring the ingredients for the char siu mixture.

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir-fry sweetcorn, carrot and mixed sesame seeds (reserve a pinch for garnish!) until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add Asian greens and remaining garlic and cook until just wilted and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. • Add char siu mixture and cook until reduced slightly, 1-2 minutes. • Return beef strips and any resting juices to the pan and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
