Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add jasmine rice, chicken-style stock powder and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12-14 minutes. • Drain, rinse with warm water and set aside.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop Asian greens. Finely chop garlic. • Trim the end of cos lettuce, then separate the leaves. • Slice kernels off the corn cob. • In a small bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce, oyster sauce, the sesame oil, brown sugar, sweet soy seasoning (see ingredients), the vinegar and a splash of water.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add the Asian greens and half the garlic, cooking until fragrant and slightly wilted, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then add sweet chilli sauce mixture and stir to combine. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to high heat. Cook corn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.
• Push corn to one side of the pan, then add a drizzle of olive oil to the empty side. Crack egg into the pan and scramble until cooked through, 1 minute. • Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add soy sauce mix and cook until slightly reduced, 30 seconds. • Add cooked rice and stir until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.
• Spoon some beef into each lettuce cup and divide between plates. • Serve with sweetcorn fried rice. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: The beef filling was tasty, though some found the sauce overly salty. The corn fried rice was a hit, with several calling it "yummo".
- Ease of prep: Some found cutting corn off the cob challenging; consider offering pre-cut corn as an option for easier prep.
- Suggestions: Add an extra egg to the fried rice for more flavour. If the beef mixture is watery, try thickening it with a bit of flour.
- Portions: Consider reducing the rice quantity; some found there was too much compared to other components.
