• totale tijd: 13 minutes

Ingrediënten

1½ tbsp oil (vegetable, canola, peanut)

500g / 1 lb beef mince / ground beef (Note 1)

2 garlic cloves (, finely minced)

1 tsp chilli flakes / red pepper flakes (adjust to your taste)

3 tbsp water

2 tbsp soy sauce (, light or all-purpose, Note 2)

2 tbsp rice vinegar (Note 3)

4 tbsp sriracha sauce (Note 4)

4 tbsp brown sugar (tightly packed)

Rice, (soba or vermicelli noodles)

1 green onion (, finely sliced)

1 tsp sesame seeds

Diced cucumber, julienned carrot, finely sliced red radish

Extra sriracha sauce (, if you dare!)

Instructies

Sauce: Mix Firecracker sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Cook beef: Heat oil in a large frypan over high heat. Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until you can no longer see raw meat (2½ minutes). Add garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute.

Caramelise beef: Add Firecracker sauce ingredients, stir to coat the beef. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring only every minute or so initially, then more towards the end, until the sauce reduces and you can see the beef caramelising. Caramelise well for good flavour!

Water: Add the water and cook for 1 minute (the water makes the beef saucier!)

Serve over rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds, green onion and a squirt of extra sriracha if you're feeling brave! Add a pile of vegetables of choice on the side. Dive in!

Notities

2024-09-17: Srirachan sijaan olen käyttänyt sambal oelekia chilinä valkosipulin välttämiseksi. Neljä rkl jauhelihan kastikkeeseen on tässä reseptissä paljon ja vanhukset ovat olleet vähän kauhuissaan. Muutenkin chilikastike sopii tähän hyvin päälle lisukkeena.
