  1. READY THE RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml 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.

  2. ABOUT THE BEANS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the rinsed green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  3. SEAR THE STRIPS

    Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the schnitzel dry with paper towel and cut into 1cm strips. When hot, sear the strips until lightly charred, 20-30 seconds. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. HURRY WITH THE CURRY

    Return the pan with all the pan juices to medium heat. When hot, fry the grated garlic and the curry paste until fragrant 1-2 minutes. Mix in the cooked chopped tomato and 150ml of water. Simmer until thickening, 10-12 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, mix in the beef strips and the shredded spinach. Remove from the heat, season and add a sweetener (optional).

  5. DELICIOUS DINNER
