1 ½ cups basmati rice

6 medium carrots

6 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

0.68 kg green beans

Instructions

Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then drain and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add water and salt, then bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Once the liquid comes to a boil, stir the mixture, cover the saucepan, and reduce heat to low. Cook rice until liquid is fully absorbed, 15-18 minutes. Once done, remove rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

While the rice cooks, trim and cut green beans into 1-inch pieces; place in a medium bowl.

Peel, trim, and slice carrots crosswise into thin rounds; add to the bowl with the green beans and set aside.

Peel and mince ginger and garlic; place both in a small bowl. Add cold water (from the tap), soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, and chili-garlic sauce to the bowl; whisk to combine the stir-fry sauce and set aside.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add veggies and cook, stirring often, until starting to soften, 6-7 minutes.

Meanwhile, trim green onions and cut crosswise into ¼-inch pieces.

Add beef, salt, and pepper to the pot with the veggies. Continue to cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes.

Add the stir-fry sauce, half of the green onions, and sesame seeds to the pot (reserve remaining green onions for the rice). Continue to cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 minutes more.

When the rice is done, add reserved green onions and stir to combine.

To serve, divide rice and beef stir-fry between plates or bowls. Enjoy!
