This flavour-packed beef bowl will transport you to the streets of Vietnam. Seasoned beef and a refreshing slaw, topped with aioli and all of it is sitting on top of a helping of garlic rice. There’s a new combination in every bite! We’ve replaced the radish in this recipe with baby leaves and the jasmine rice with Israeli couscous due to local ingredient availability.

• Boil the kettle. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Toast Israeli couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water then add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.

• While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop baby leaves. Finely chop garlic. • Cut Asian marinated tofu into 2cm chunks.

• In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, ginger lemongrass paste, garlic and the sesame oil.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook tofu, tossing until browned, 3-4 minutes. Set aside. Return frying pan to high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring, until sticky, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to low, then cooked tofu, add oyster sauce, the soy sauce and a splash of water. Season with pepper and toss until well coated, 1 minute.

• Meanwhile, combine a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. • Add baby leaves and Asian slaw mix and toss to combine. Set aside. Little cooks: Help toss the slaw!

• Divide rice between bowls. Top with Vietnamese-style caramelised beef, tofu and rainbow slaw. • Garnish with crushed peanuts and tear over mint. Drizzle with sesame dressing to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the garnishes!
