Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and cook the rice for 12 - 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  • Cut half of the lime into wedges and juice the rest into a salad bowl.
  • Add the red wine vinegar, the cane sugar, the sambal and half of the fish sauce.* 

*Take care, this ingredient is salty! Use as preferred

Make the salad
2
  • Slice the cucumber and add it to the salad bowl, then toss well to combine. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
  • Roughly dice the bell pepper and the onion.
  • Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a wok or deep frying pan over high heat. Stir-fry the onion and bell pepper for 4 - 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, crush or mince the garlic.
Make the sauce
3
  • In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce with the garlic, the cornstarch, the soy sauce and the rest of the fish sauce (see Tip).
  • Add this sauce and the steak strips to the wok, then stir fry for 1 - 2 minutes.

Health Tip: if you're watching your salt intake, use just half of the soy sauce and then add more later as preferred when serving.

Serve
4
  • Roughly chop the coriander.
  • Serve the rice on deep plates and top with the stir-fry. Serve the cucumber salad and the lime wedges alongside.
  • Garnish with the sesame seeds and the coriander.
