How to make it
- 1
Mix the oyster sauce, Japanese soy sauce and fish sauce in a small bowl to make a stir-fry sauce.
- 2
Heat half the sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. Stir-fry the grated cauliflower for 3-4 minutes until warmed through and slightly softened. Season with a pinch of salt and divide between bowls.
- 3
Add the rest of the sesame oil to the pan over a high heat. Add the garlic and chilli and stir-fry for 30 seconds until wonderfully fragrant.
- 4
Add the sliced beef and stir-fry quickly for about 2 minutes until nicely browned.
- 5
Add the green beans and pepper, and pour over the stir-fry sauce. Stir-fry for a further 2 minutes so the vegetables keep their crunch.
- 6
Take the pan off the heat, fold in the Thai basil and squeeze over the lime juice.
- 7
Serve the beef stir-fry straight over the cauliflower rice.
Kitchen tips
- Make sure the pan is smoking hot before adding the meat so it sears rather than stews.
- Fold in the basil right at the end once the heat is off – that way it keeps its fresh flavour and green colour.
