Trim the lettuce, then quarter lengthwise. Cut the tomatoes into wedges.
Step 2 — Prep garnishes
Coarsely chop the peanuts. Thinly slice the spring onion on an angle.
Step 3 — Brown beef mince
BEEF MINCE OPTION Heat a generous drizzle of oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat. Add the beef mince, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the lumps with a spoon, for 3-4 mins until browned.
Step 4 — Heat rice
Meanwhile, massage the packet of rice to loosen and tear a 2cm opening for the steam to escape. Heat in the microwave for 90 secs or until heated through. Add the rice to the beef and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat.
Step 5 — Flavour beef
Combine the peanuts, fried shallots and sesame seeds in a bowl. Add half the peanut mixture and half the Japanese dressing to the beef mixture and stir to combine.
Step 6 — Get ready to serve
Divide the lettuce, tomato and beef mixture among bowls. Scatter with the spring onion and remaining peanut mixture. Drizzle with the remaining Japanese dressing to serve.
