Add the minced meats, breaking down any lumps with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Set cooked mince mixture aside in a separate bowl. Using the same frying pan add the Chinese broccoli and cook until wilted for 1 minute, then add the carrots and cook for another minute. Add the oyster sauce mixture and sauté it all together for another minute. Remove from heat and put the cooked vegetables in a separate bowl. Set aside.

  6. Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the white sesame seeds, toasting until golden, 2 minutes., transfer to a bowl. Mix both seeds together.

  7. Using a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Lainey’s chilli oil, mixing well. Set aside.

  8. Drain the pickled onion. Set aside. To prepare and serve, divide the jasmine rice between 4 bowls, top with the cooked minced meats, then add the cooked vegetables, pickled onion, and cucumber. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and top with the Japanese Lainey’s chilli oil mayo.
