RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 25-30 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.
MINCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
FLAVOURFUL MINCE
Add the sliced onion to the pan and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the tomato paste mix, the grated ginger, and the sliced chilli (to taste). Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in 100ml of water and simmer until slightly thickening, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season.
SALAD
Using a spoon or a knife, gently scoop out the seeds from the cucumber and cut into half moons. In a bowl, combine the lime juice with a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Add the sliced cucumber, the shredded leaves, and toss to combine.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the fluffy rice, top with the flavourful mince, and side with the fresh salad. Garnish with any remaining sliced chilli. Well done, Chef!
