Curried Beef Mince Fried Rice

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, 100ml coconut milk and 140ml water in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, stirring halfway, for 12-14 mins until tender and the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for at least 5 mins.

Meanwhile, finely chop the onion. Cut the capsicum into 1cm chunks. Pick the coriander leaves and finely chop the stems.

Heat 1 tbs vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, capsicum and coriander stems, stirring, for 3-4 mins until softened. Increase the heat to high, add the beef mince and cook, breaking up the lumps with a spoon, for 3-4 mins until browned.

Add the coconut rice, masala seasoning and 2 tsp soy sauce to the beef mixture and stir-fry for 2-3 mins until the rice is well coated and warmed through. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.

Combine the remaining coconut milk and 1 tsp honey in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the fried rice among bowls. Scatter over the coriander leaves, drizzle with the honeyed coconut milk and enjoy!

This fried rice goes perfectly with a touch of lime. If you have some on hand, serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
