Pantry Staples

Instructions

Letā€™s cook now!

RiceĀ 

  • Start by rinsing that basmati rice until the water runs clear.Ā 
  • Chuck it in a pan with double the amount of water (so 2 cups) and a pinch of salt.Ā 
  • Bring it to the boil, then turn down the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Easy peasy.

Beefy Prep

  • While the rice is simmering, get your beef ready.Ā 
  • Pat those brisket strips dry with a paper towel, and season them with a little salt and pepper.
  • And then, heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat.Ā 
  • Once it's sizzling, add your beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until it's browned on all sides.

Veggie Vibes

  • Toss in the chopped white onion, spring onion, cabbage, and carrots.Ā 
  • Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies start to soften.

Sauce It Up

  • Now for the star of the show ā€” Bozu's Sticky Bozu Sauce!Ā 
  • Pour that glorious sauce over your beef and veggies.Ā 
  • Keep stirring to make sure everything is coated evenly.

Simmer Down

  • Turn the heat down to low and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • This gives the flavours a chance to mingle and the sauce to thicken up ā€” making it extra sticky and delicious.

Finishing Touches

  • Stir in the red onion slices and most of the chopped coriander.Ā 
  • Let it cook for another minute.Ā 
  • Sprinkle over the black onion seeds.

Dinner Time

  • Dish up that fluffy rice onto your plates, top with the sticky beef and veggies, and sprinkle over the rest of the coriander for a final touch.Ā 
  • Grab your chopsticks and get stuck in!

Here are some extra tips that give this dish a bit more flair.Ā 

  • If you like your beef extra tender, marinate it in the sticky sauce for an hour or two before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other veggies to the mix, like broccoli, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chilli flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce.
  • Make it a feast and serve with some steamed bok choy or a side of prawn crackers.

There you have it ā€” a flavour adventure in the comfort of your own kitchen. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

Bozu's Sticky Bozu Beef & Rice is already a flavour bomb, but there are a few ways to make it even more special.

Presentation Perfection

Don't just dump the beef on top of the rice ā€” get creative!Ā 

Arrange the rice in a neat mound on your plate, then artfully drape the beef over it, letting the sticky sauce ooze enticingly.Ā 

Sprinkle a generous amount of chopped coriander (cilantro) and black onion seeds over the top for a pop of colour and a hint of crunch.Ā 

A simple side salad of shredded cabbage, carrots, and a tangy dressing will cut through the richness of the beef and add a refreshing element to your meal.Ā 

Sidekick Sensations

Increase your meal with some delicious sides. Keep it simple with a side of steamed bok choy or broccoli, lightly seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil.Ā 

Alternatively, enjoy a tangy pickled cucumber or carrot salad to add a refreshing crunch and acidity.Ā 

DrinksĀ 

Pair your Bozu Beef with a refreshing beverage to complete your meal. Jasmine tea is the perfect palate cleanser, or if you're in the mood for something a bit stronger, try a cold Chinese beer.Ā 

How to Meal Prep Sticky Bozu Beef & White RiceĀ 

Don't let those busy weekdays get in the way of enjoying a tasty home-cooked meal. With a bit of planning, turn Bozu's Sticky Bozu Beef & Rice into meals for the whole week!

Cook Extra Rice

When you make the rice, make more than you need for one meal. Leftover rice is great to have on hand and can be used for other dishes later in the week.

Marinade and Freeze

If you have extra beef, go ahead and marinate it all at once. Even freeze any portions you won't be using right away. This way, you'll have another meal ready to go whenever you need it.

Store It Right

Use airtight containers (glass is best) to keep your food fresh. Once the beef and veggies are cooked and cooled, put them in separate containers. Do the same with the rice.

Freeze for Later

If you made too much, no worries! Freeze the cooked beef for up to 3 months. Just defrost it in the fridge overnight and warm it up when you're ready to eat.

Pro Tip: Don't forget to add the fresh coriander and black onion seeds just before serving, so they stay fresh and flavourful.
