We've taken inspiration from traditional crispy Chinese clay pot rice for this tasty midweek supper. Soaking the rice beforehand helps to speed up the cooking time. Thinly sliced chicken would work well here too, instead of beef.

Instructions

Step 1

Mix the rice and 300ml water in a roughly 2 litre casserole dish (that has a lid). Cover and leave to soak for 1hr.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix the beef, soy sauce and fish sauce, the garlic, ginger and sugar in a non-metallic bowl. Cover and chill for 1hr.

Step 3

Put the casserole (with rice and water) over high hob heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, scatter over the mushrooms and beef mixture; no need to stir. Re-cover, turn down heat to low and simmer for 20-25min, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the beef is cooked through.

Step 4

Divide between 4 bowls and scatter over the spring onions and cashews. Serve with extra soy sauce, if you like.
