Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of cornflour until smooth. Set aside to meld flavors.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of lean beef mince and stir frequently for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  3. Carefully drain excess fat, reduce heat, and add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. Sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Introduce 1 sliced onion and 1 cup of broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the onion is translucent and broccoli is tender.
  5. Fold in 1-2 cups of sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until just tender.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir to coat everything. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Serve over 4 cups of cooked rice, garnished with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.
