Prepare the Rice: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice and cook until tender, then drain.
Sauté Aromatics: Lightly coat a pan with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Brown the Mince: Add the beef mince to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and brown the meat thoroughly.
Glaze and Simmer: In a small bowl, mix the Tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Soya Stir-fry sauce. Pour the mixture over the mince, cover with a lid, and simmer until fully cooked and the flavors have melded.
Assemble the Bowl: Arrange the cooked rice, glazed mince, cottage cheese, and avocado into four appealing sections in a serving bowl.
Garnish and Serve: Top the bowl with Crushed Chili Spice and Everything Bagel sprinkle. Serve hot and enjoy.
Meal Prep Notes:
Batch Cooking: You can cook a larger portion of the mince and rice in advance. Store them in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Assembly: Always add the avocado and cottage cheese fresh just before serving to ensure the best texture and color.
Freezer & Unfreezing Notes:
Freezing: Only the cooked mince and rice are freezer-safe. Freeze them in individual portions for up to 2 months.
Unfreezing: Thaw the mince and rice in the fridge overnight. Reheat in a pan or microwave until steaming hot before adding the fresh toppings.
Avoid Freezing: Do not freeze the avocado or cottage cheese, as their textures will break down significantly.
Travel Notes:
On-the-Go: If packing this for travel, keep the cottage cheese in a separate small container to prevent the rice from becoming soggy.
Temperature: This meal is best enjoyed warm, but the glazed mince is also delicious at room temperature if a microwave isn’t available.
