Motherpedia: What is the most memorable moment throughout this entire experience?
Jac and Shaz: Winning the Semi-Final and making it to the Grand Final was the most memorable for us. We loved everything we cooked in the Semi and had a really great day in Kitchen HQ, everything just went perfectly to plan. Of course being in the Grand Final just can’t be topped either.
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 6 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
500g of lean minced beef
2 tbsp of roasted rice*, coarsely ground
1 small red onion, finely sliced
1 cup of mint leaves
1 cup of coriander leaves
1 long red chilli, sliced (optional)
2 lime leaves, very finely shredded
2 tbsp of lime juice
1 tbsp of fish sauce
2 tsp of sugar
Baby cos leaves, prawn crackers and lime wedges, to serve
*To roast rice, place in a dry frying pan over a moderately high heat. Stir until toasted and brown. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and beat until coarsely ground.
Method
1. Place a large wok or frying pan over a high heat. Cook half of the beef in a small amount of vegetable oil in for 3 minutes or until lightly coloured, breaking it up as it cooks. Repeat with the remaining beef. Tip into a large mixing bowl and allow cooling slightly.
2. Add the ground rice and remaining ingredients and stir well. Place onto a platter and serve with cos leaves and lime wedges.
Tips
You can adjust the flavours (hot, sour, salty and sweet) to taste, by using more or less chilli, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. For a more filling meal, try serving with steamed Jasmine rice.
