My children absolutely love Monster Mash; they relish its diverse yet simple flavours and delectable taste. Personally, I find joy in preparing Monster Mash for them, given its simplicity, rich flavours, and healthful attributes.

When scouting for dinner recipes, I typically consider three key criteria:

• Simple to make,
• Kids will eat it
• Healthy filled to protein and vegetables.

Monster Mash ticks all the boxes, offering not only a convenient but also a thoroughly satisfying option for our family dinners.

Rice

• 1 cup Rice (washed)
• 1 cup Snap Frozen Carrot Peas & Corn
• 2 cups Water
• Pink Himalayan Salt (to taste)

Mince Patties

• 600 grams Beef Mince
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tbsp Pink Himalayan Salt
• ½ tsp Black Pepper (optional)

To Serve

• 4 cups Shredded Cabbage
• 2 cups Chicken Stock (any stock works)
• Parmensen Cheese (to serve if desired)
• chilli flakes (to serve if desired)

Instructions

 

Rice

• Find a  microwave-safe container or pot (I use the Tupperware Ricke Cooker https://www.tupperware.com.au/products/micro-rice-cooker-large)
• Add the rice, salt, frozen carrot peas & corn an water into the microwave-safe container or pot. 
• Stir the rice blend and then securely cover it with a lid.
• Microwave for 12 minutes then give the rice a mix with a spoon. Note: Remember to use oven mitts when taking your container out of the microwave.
• Microwave for another 8 minutes. Let rest covered for 5 minutes then give it a mix. 
• Give the rice a quick taste. Does it need more time? If so, cover and cook for an additional 1 minute on high.
  

Mince Patties

• Place all ingredients in a bowl, and mix thoroughly with your hands preferably. I used food handling disposable gloves
• Evenly split the mixture into four parts and mold each portion into patties, mirroring the classic hamburger style.
• Air fry the patties at 180℃ for 12-14 minutes for a medium doneness. Adjust the cooking duration to your liking by extending it for a heartier cook or reducing it for a less-cooked preference.
  
• Remove from oven and allow burgers to rest for 5 minutes to continue cooking

Monster Mash to Serve

• Combine 1 cup of shredded cabbage and ½ cup of chicken stock, then microwave the mixture for 2 minutes.
  
• Finish by placing your desired amount of rice along with one beef patty on top of the cabbage.
  
• Season to taste with Parmesan Cheese and Chilli Flakes (if desired).
• Enjoy your Monster Mash.
