Cooking Instructions

Prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions. This fluffy base will soak up all the delicious flavors from the beef mixture.
In a skillet or wok, heat a small amount of oil and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. You want them fragrant and slightly translucent.
Add the beef mince to the skillet and cook until browned, stirring frequently. This should take about 5-7 minutes; look for no pinkness in the meat.
Stir in sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and lime juice. Combine well so every piece of beef is coated in that sweet and spicy goodness.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. You'll know it’s ready when it clings to the beef beautifully.
Remove from heat and stir in roasted cashews for a delightful crunch. They bring a lovely nutty flavor that complements the beef excellently.
Serve the beef mixture over the fluffy jasmine rice, and top it with steamed or fresh vegetables for some refreshing crunch. Enjoy this vibrant bowl!
