Pepper Lunch

Imagine a steaming hot skillet arriving at your table — the air alive with sizzle and warmth. At the centre, a cloud of fluffy rice nestles beneath a melting pad of butter, while thin ribbons of beef begin to sear and caramelise at the edges. As you stir, the grains take on a glossy coat of savory sauce, mingling with bursts of sweet corn and the faint crunch of scallions. The result is a hearty, comforting platter that crackles with heat — smoky beef, buttery rice, and fragrant pepper blending into a satisfying harmony. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that still feels indulgent and fun, it’s a simple dish with a dramatic presentation that warms from the skillet up.
