    🥣 5 minutes 
    ⏲️ 20 minutes

     

    📌 Ingredients:

     

    • 1 red onion, finely chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic, finely sliced
    • 2 tbsp ginger, grated (optional)
    • 500 g Woolworths Lean Beef Mince
    • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
    • 3 tbsp Miso Tasty Red Miso Paste
    • 3 baby cabbages, cut into chunks
    • 500 g Woolworths Frozen Savoury Rice
    • 4 tbsp olive oil

     

    📌 Cooking instructions:

     

    1. Heat half the olive oil in a heavy-based pan. Sauté the onion, garlic and ginger for 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.

    2. Crank up the heat and add the beef mince, breaking up the clumps as it browns; this should take about 10 minutes for the mince to brown properly and the moisture to evaporate. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the miso paste through the mince.

    3. Heat a second pan with the remaining olive oil and brown the cabbage chunks for 2 minutes on each side. Alternatively, toss the cabbage in the olive oil and place in a preheated air fryer of 200°C for 8 – 10 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.

    4. Warm the savoury rice in a microwave-safe bowl for 5 minutes, or until steaming.
