Instructions

Prepare the Rice: Cook short-grain rice according to package instructions until tender. Let it cool slightly for easier handling.
Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add the chopped broccoli and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is vibrant and tender. Stir in the stir fry sauce and season with salt and pepper before removing from heat.
Assemble the Triangles: Take a small portion of cooled rice and place a spoonful of the beef and broccoli filling in the center. Shape the rice around the filling into a triangle, ensuring it is sealed.
Cook the Triangles: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a little oil. Pan-fry the triangles for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Let the triangles cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with optional soy or sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Swap the ground beef for a plant-based protein such as crumbled tofu or tempeh.

Rice Option: Use jasmine rice or brown rice for a different texture and flavor profile.

Spicy Version: Add a touch of chili paste or red pepper flakes to the stir-fry sauce for some heat.

Cheese: Sprinkle in some shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar) into the filling for a creamy, gooey texture.

Storage: Store leftover triangles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating: To reheat, pan-fry the triangles again for a couple of minutes on each side until warmed through and crispy. Alternatively, they can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
