Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 20g roasted peanuts
• 2clov garlic
• 150g jasmine rice
• 1pcs pak choy
• 300g beef stir-fry
• 30g green curry paste
• 200ml coconut milk
• 15ml vegetable oil
• 5ml white vinegar
• 5ml sugar

Method

1. Step 1 — Start peanut rice
   Coarsely chop the peanuts. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the peanuts and garlic, season lightly with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until fragrant. Add the rice and stir to coat.
2. Step 2 — Finish peanut rice
   Add 250ml (1 cup) water to the rice mixture, cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 mins or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for at least 5 mins. Fluff the peanut rice with a fork.
3. Step 3 — Brown beef
   Meanwhile, trim the pak choy and separate the leaves. Separate the beef stir-fry. Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat until very hot (see Kitchen notes). Cook the beef, stirring, for 1-2 mins until browned. Remove from the pan.
4. Step 4 — Simmer curry
   Return the pan to medium heat. Add the curry paste (see Kitchen notes) and cook, stirring, for 30 secs or until fragrant. Add the coconut milk, 1 tsp white vinegar, 1 tsp sugar and 1½ tbs water and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 mins. Add the pak choy and cook, covered, for 2 mins.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Add the beef to the curry, discarding any resting juices. Cook, stirring, for a further 1-2 mins until the beef is cooked through and the pak choy is just tender. Taste, then season with salt. Divide the peanut rice and beef curry among bowls and enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Kitchen notes
   Ensuring the pan is really hot before adding the beef prevents it from stewing and gives it a nice browned finish. ~ Our curry paste packs quite a punch of heat. We've suggested this amount for flavour, but feel free to use less if you don't like things too hot.
