Thai Sweet Basil Beef

Method

1. Cook the jasmine rice as packet instructions. While the rice is cooking put the carrots, red chilli pepper, spring onions, fish sauce, lime juice and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in to a medium bowl. Toss well and set aside.
2. Heat a large wok over medium heat, add the oil and once hot add the garlic, ginger, salt and pepper. Cook  for 15-30 seconds then add the beef, breaking it up as it cooks, for about 5 minutes. Once the beef is browned, add the 75ml soy sauce, Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce and fresh basil leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for a further 5 minutes.
3. Divide the cooked rice between four bowls, top with equal amounts of Thai sweet basil beef. Finish with the carrot and red chilli pepper mix on top of the beef.
4. Garnish with chopped cashew nuts, fresh basil and toasted sesame seeds.
