How to make Spicy Mayo Beef Bowl

Tips from the cook

  • Add a splash of water and a lid when the vegetables go in: the steam cooks them faster.
  • Swap the beef for chicken or turkey mince, or the rice for quinoa, udon, soba or rice noodles.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make it gluten-free.
