  1. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions so it is ready to serve.

  2. Mix the soy sauce, water and cornflour in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the minced beef and stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, breaking it up, until browned.

  4. Add the sliced onion and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until softened but not coloured.

  5. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until bright green and just tender, keeping some bite.

  6. Pour in the soy mixture and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.

  7. Season with salt and black pepper, then serve immediately with the cooked rice.

Notes

Cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets so it cooks at the same rate as the beef. Add chilli or sesame seeds at the table if you would like extra heat or texture.
