Method

  1. Heat the oil in a deep, lidded frying pan or wok and add the onions. Cook over a low heat for 10 mins until soft and lightly golden.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large lidded pan of water to the boil and add the rice. Cook for 10 mins, then drain, return to the pan and cover to keep warm.
  3. Add the massaman paste to the onions, cook for 1 min, then add the sliced potato and stir until coated. Pour in the coconut milk, add the star anise, then increase the heat and bring to a simmer. Cover, and cook for 15 mins or until the potatoes are tender. Add the beef, corn, mangetout and 150ml water. Cover, reduce the heat and cook for 5 mins until the vegetables are cooked and the beef is heated through.
  4. Top with the peanuts and serve with the rice alongside.
