2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus 1 extra teaspoon
250g (1/2 lb) beef mince (ground beef)
1 onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 long red chilli, finely chopped
½ tsp shrimp paste
1 beef stock cube, crumbled
4 cups cooked rice
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp kecap manis or sweet dark soy sauce
¼ cup fried shallots
sliced cucumber, to serve
sliced tomato, to serve
sambal oelek*, to serve
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add the beef and sear for 4-5 minutes to develop a deep crust. Then flip, break up and stir-fry until almost cooked.
Add the onion and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the onion has softened. Then add in the garlic and chilli and stir-fry for another few seconds.
Move the ingredients to the side and add the extra teaspoon of oil. Then add the shrimp paste and move it around in the oil to dissolve it a little before mixing it through the remaining ingredients. Stir through the crumbled beef stock cube. Add the rice, soy sauce and kecap manis. Stir-fry until well combined. Remove from heat and divide among serving bowls.
Sprinkle over the fried shallots. Serve with cucumber, tomato and sambal oelek.
– Sambal oelek is a chilli paste that can be found in the Asian aisle at most supermarkets or from an Asian grocery store.

So easy and just beautiful. Never any leftovers on this one. Take a deep breath before you open that shrimp paste!!
Delicious!
Had to find a substitute for the shrimp paste since I couldn’t find any at my local grocery store (i used a mix of fish sauce and red miso), and i really enjoyed it! The tomatoes and cucumbers make a great contrast in taste (freshness) and texture (crunch) to the rice and fried beef mince. I will try to get my hands on shrimp paste for my next attempt, but in the meantime i will happily reheat the leftovers and serve with q fried egg on top!
Very filling
Delicious, easy to follow recipe. Love the video… always happy Marion
