Ingredients
10 oz Ground Beef
½ cup Brown Rice
2 clove Garlic
3 oz Shredded Carrots
1 each Persian Cucumbers
1 each piece Ginger
1 each Lime
1 tbsp Sambal Oelek
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
3 tbsp Soy Glaze
1 tbsp Mirin (salted cooking wine)
1 bunch Cilantro
How to make it
1
Rinse and drain the rice. Combine with a big pinch of salt and 1 1/4 cups water (1 1/2 cups for 4 servings) in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and cook undisturbed 23-25 minutes until absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
2
Meanwhile, rinse and dry all produce. Peel and finely chop the ginger to get 2 teaspoons (4 tsp for 4 servings). Peel and roughly chop 2 garlic cloves (4 for 4 servings). Halve the cucumbers lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise. Roughly chop the cilantro. Halve the limes and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Add the soy glaze; stir. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and as much sambal oelek as you like. In a third bowl, combine the cucumbers and carrots; add the mirin and season. Stir and set aside to marinate at least 10 minutes.
3
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the beef and break it apart. Cook undisturbed 3-4 minutes until browned; season. Drain off excess oil. Add the soy-lime sauce, ginger, and garlic. Cook stirring frequently 2-3 minutes until combined and the beef is coated and cooked through. Serve the rice topped with the cooked beef and marinated vegetables. Drizzle with the sambal mayo. Top with chopped cilantro.
