1½ tbsp oil ((vegetable, canola, peanut))
500 g / 1 lb beef mince / ground beef ((Note 1))
2 g arlic cloves (, finely minced)
1 tsp chilli flakes / red pepper flakes ((adjust to your taste))
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp soy sauce (, light or all-purpose (Note 2))
2 tbsp rice vinegar ((Note 3))
4 tbsp sriracha sauce ((Note 4))
4 tbsp brown sugar ((tightly packed))

Langkah-langkah

Sauce: Mix Firecracker sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Cook beef: Heat oil in a large frypan over high heat. Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until you can no longer see raw meat (2½ minutes). Add garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute.
Caramelise beef: Add Firecracker sauce ingredients, stir to coat the beef. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring only every minute or so initially, then more towards the end, until the sauce reduces and you can see the beef caramelising. Caramelise well for good flavour!
Water: Add the water and cook for 1 minute (the water makes the beef saucier!)
Serve over rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds, green onion and a squirt of extra sriracha if you're feeling brave! Add a pile of vegetables of choice on the side. Dive in!
