FOR THE CHILLI SAUCE

  • 1 tbsp chilli paste, such as gochujang or sriracha
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Method

  1. To make the chilli sauce, mix together all the ingredients and set aside. Put 1 tbsp sunfl ower oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. Meanwhile, combine the steak with 2 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil. When the pan is smoking hot, add the steak mixture. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just cooked through. Transfer to a bowl, season and cover with foil.

  2. Wipe out the pan with kitchen paper, add 1 tbsp sunflower oil and set over a high heat. Add the carrot, pepper and mushrooms and stir-fry for 6-8 minutes until softened and with a little colour. Remove from the pan and season with 2 tsp soy sauce and 2 tsp sesame oil.

  3. Wipe out the pan with kitchen paper again, then add the spinach. Fry for a few minutes, stirring, until the spinach has wilted. Remove to a plate and season with the remaining 1 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil. Heat the final 1 tbsp sunflower oil and fry the quails’ eggs to your liking. Heat the rice according to pack instructions and divide between 8 small bowls or large mugs. Top with the vegetables, beef and an egg. Dollop on a heaped teaspoon of chilli sauce and sprinkle over some sesame seeds; serve immediately.
