Method

  1. 1Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. Add the beef strips and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until browned. Lift out onto a plate.
  2. 2Add the broccoli and water to the pan, cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until just tender.
  3. 3Stir in the garlic and cook for a minute, then return the beef to the pan.
  4. 4Add the microwave rice and soy sauce and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until everything is hot through.
  5. 5Season with black pepper and serve.

Tip: squeeze the rice pouches to loosen the grains before opening so they scatter easily into the pan.

Fatigue days: using ready-cooked microwave rice cuts out boiling and draining a pan.
