Cook the onion for 2 minutes, then add the mince. Cook, stirring occasionally, until there is no pink/ red colour left (about 5 minutes).
While the beef and onions are cooking, mince/ finely chop the ginger and garlic (or use the jarred kind).
Add the ginger, garlic, honey and soy sauce and cook for 4-5 minutes, till beef is browned.
While the beef and sauces are cooking, grate the carrot or peel it into ribbons, and slice the cucumber. Warm the rice.
When everything is ready, add the hot water and pepper to the pan, stir well and turn the heat off.
Divide rice, mince and vegies between the bowls and top with a drizzle of mayonnaise and chilli sauce (if using).

Quick rice options

Cook a batch of rice and keep for 2-3 days in the fridge.
Cook a batch of rice and freeze in suitable portions. Defrost as required.
Buy microwave ready pouches of rice.
Boil 3 cups water in the kettle. In a large microwave-proof dish mix 1 ½ cups medium grain white rice and boiling water. Cook, uncovered, on HIGH for 12 minutes, then cover with a plate or lid and let rest till ready to serve. This method might need tweaking depending on the shape of your dish and the strength of your microwave. If the rice is not cooked enough, but the rice has absorbed all the water, add a splash more boiling water and cook for another minute. If the rice is not cooked enough, and still quite wet, cook for another minute. Repeat as needed.

Healthy tip!

Chilli, lemon and herbs add flavour - great alternatives to butter and salt!
