Method

  1. Put all the marinade ingredients and the coriander stems in a glass or ceramic mixing bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the beef and mix to coat, then set aside for at least 1 hour.
  2. Cut the spring onions in half, then slice in half lengthways. Brush with the sesame oil and set aside. When ready to cook, heat a ridged griddle pan (or heat the grill to high). Divide the beef among the skewers and nestle spring onions between the chunks (keep the marinade). Brush the meat with vegetable oil and grill/ griddle for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning, until cooked to your liking.
  3. Meanwhile, put the reserved marinade in a small pan and bubble for 5 minutes over a high heat until reduced and syrupy. Heat the rice according to the pack instructions. Serve the skewers with the sticky rice, drizzled with the reduced marinade and sprinkled with sesame seeds and coriander leaves.
