To Serve (Optional)

Instructions
- Heat a splash of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef mince, onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir-fry until the beef is browned and the onions are softened.
- Stir in the diced peppers and Chinese five spice. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring often.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chilli flakes. Set aside.
- Add the microwave rice and frozen peas straight into the pan with the beef. Pour in the sauce and stir everything together until well coated and heated through (about 3–4 minutes).
