Cook

Method

  1. Add 2 Tbsp uncooked jasmine rice to a dry frying pan set over a medium heat. Toast, shaking often, for 5-7 mins until golden and nutty-smelling. Let it cool, then blitz to a fine powder using a blender or grind in a pestle and mortar. Set aside.
  2. Add the jasmine rice to a saucepan and wash it until the water runs clear, then drain. Add 240ml water to the pan and set it over a high heat. Bring it to the boil, then pop a tight-fitting lid on, turn the heat to low and steam for 12 mins. Don’t lift the lid. After 12 mins, take the pan off the heat. Fluff the rice with a fork, cover again, and leave to steam for 10 more mins. Just before serving, fluff the rice one last time with a fork.
  3. Peel and finely dice the shallot. Peel and grate the ginger. Finely dice the red chilli and coriander stems. Juice both limes.
  4. In a small bowl (or using a food processor), mix together the water, sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, coriander stems, ginger, chilli, shallot and 1 Tbsp of the toasted rice powder. Stir or pulse until well combined, then set.
  5. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, keeping them whole. Pick the Thai basil leaves.
  6. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. Sear the steak for 2-3 mins on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your liking. Rest for 5 mins, then slice into thin strips.
  7. To serve, lay out the lettuce leaves. Add a spoonful of rice, top with sliced steak, a drizzle of the dressing, Thai basil and crispy shallots. Wrap and eat with your hands.
