One Pot Thai-Style Crispy Beef & Broccoli
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, sliced
1 tsp chilli-garlic sauce (Momofuko, shown in my reel, is not gluten free!)
3 tbsp Tamari/Coconut Aminos/Soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
1 1/2 cups Jasmine rice
1 head of broccoli (approx 2 cups broccoli florets)
1 cup basil
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup neutral oil (optional)
4 eggs (optional
Directions:
Over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef in one layer (smoosh it down so that it covers the pan) and leave it undisturbed until it is browned (5-7 minutes)
Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic and the shallots and when the beef is browned, add the garlic and shallots to the pot and break up the pieces of the beef. Cook for 1-2 mins until the shallots are soft.
Add in 2 1/2 cups water, the tamari/soy sauce/coconut aminos, fish sauce and chili paste. Bring to a boil then add in 1 1/2 cups of rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and let simmer for 22-25 mins.
While the rice is cooking, separate the broccoli into bite-sized florets. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli to the pot and cover to let steam. Add 1 cup of roughy chopped basil leaves and the juice of 1 lime and fluff the rice with a fork.
If you are making the fried eggs, heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the 1/4 cup neutral oil and fry the eggs until the white is opaque but the yolk is still runny.
Divide the rice between bowls, top with an egg and dig in!
