• 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 pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice fresh chilli (if using). • In a small bowl, combine rice wine vinegar(for the pickle) and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add chilli to the pickling liquid with just enough water to cover the chilli. Stir to coat and set aside.
• Roughly chop Asian greens. Cut baby broccoli into thirds. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast sesame seeds (see ingredients), tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook baby broccoli, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add Asian greens and cook until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, then season with salt and pepper. • Meanwhile, combine Sichuan garlic paste, the honey, rice wine vinegar(for the sauce), the soy sauce and a splash of water in a second small bowl.
• When the rice has 5 minutes remaining, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add ginger paste and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add Sichuan sauce mixture and cook until slightly reduced and sticky, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then add the cooked veggies to the beef and toss to combine.
• Drain pickled chilli. • Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with sticky Chinese beef, veggies and pickled chilli. • Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
