Preparation Steps

  1. Rinse the lentils. Put the lentils and brown rice in one pot with plenty of water and boil 30 to 35 minutes until soft. Drain.
  2. While they cook, mince the garlic and slice the spring onions. Keep a few green slices for the top.
  3. Mix the soy sauce, ginger, chili flakes and black pepper in a small bowl with a splash of water.
  4. Brown the ground beef in a dry large pan over high heat, breaking it into small bits, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and spring onion for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the frozen peas and the sauce. Cook 4 minutes until the peas are hot and the sauce coats the beef.
  6. Mix in the rice and lentils. Divide into 8 containers and sprinkle with sesame seeds and the green spring onion.
  7. Cool, close and keep in the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat 2 minutes in the microwave at work, stir, and heat 1 more minute.
