Chinese Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the chopped broccoli & green beans with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 min or until starting to soften

Meanwhile, add the broccoli brown rice to a large, heatproof bowl and put the bowl in the microwave for 2-3 min or until piping hot

Once the vegetables have started to soften, add the beef strips, half the chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and the ginger & garlic paste

Sprinkle over the cornflour and a generous grind of black pepper and cook for 1-2 min, to sear the beef strips, but prevent them from overcooking

Once the beef is seared, add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce with 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] cold water and cook for 1 min further until the sauce has thickened – this is your Chinese beef & broccoli stir fry
