• 1pcs ginger
• 10g cornflour
• 300g beef stir-fry
• 30ml soy sauce
• 10ml sugar
• 15ml vegetable oil

Method

1. Step 1 — Cook rice
   Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Put in a small saucepan with 250ml (1 cup) water, cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 mins or until tender and the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for at least 5 mins. Fluff the rice with a fork.
2. Step 2 — Prep ingredients
   Meanwhile, cut the capsicum into 1cm-thick strips. Thinly slice the spring onion, keeping the white and green parts separate. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Peel and finely grate half the ginger*. Combine 2 tbs soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar and 1½ tbs water in a bowl. Combine 2 tsp cornflour* and 3 tsp water in a separate bowl.
3. Step 3 — Start stir-fry
   Separate the beef stir-fry and pat dry with paper towel. Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat until very hot. Stir-fry the beef for 1-2 mins until browned. Remove from the pan. Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in the pan over high heat. Stir-fry the capsicum for 2-3 mins until softened.
4. Step 4 — Finish stir-fry
   Add the garlic, ginger and white part of the spring onion to the capsicum and stir-fry for 1 min or until fragrant. Add the soy sauce mixture, beef and any resting juices and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cornflour mixture, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 min or until the liquid boils and thickens. Remove the pan from the heat.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Divide the rice and beef stir-fry among bowls, scatter over the remaining spring onion and enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Did you know?
   Mongolian beef is actually from Taiwan and has nothing to do with Mongolia at all! The dish was invented in the 1950s and became very popular in American-Chinese restaurants thanks to its mild, kid-friendly flavours.
