Thai Beef Rice Bowl

Thai cuisine is known for flavourful dishes with a combination of sweet, spicy, tangy and umami.

Most bowl recipes start with a base grain like rice, potatoes, quinoa, etc.

Since rice is the primary food staple in Thailand, it’s no brainer to use Thai jasmine rice which is considered one of the world’s most delicious varieties of rice.

Though pork and chicken are the more popular meat in Thailand, I like beef more and feel it gives more flavour to the rice bowl.

Why Make Thai Beef Bowl With Ninja Speedi

With the Ninja Speedi, you can make a good rice bowl dish in one shot.

Similar to the Ninja Speedi Italian Meatball Soup, you’ll have the rice at the bottom and the beef mixture on top.

The spiced beef gets air fried to provide a crispy dimension to the rice bowl.

Air frying keeps the juices inside the beef as it sears the outside.

And the rice gets extra flavourful because, as the beef steams in the beginning, the beef fat and some juices would fall from the crisper tray to the inner pot where the rice and vegetables lies, infusing the them with the juices.

What You Need For Ninja Speedi Thai Beef Bowl

Equipment

I used the Ninja Speedi Rapid Cooker & Air Fryer for this recipe, which makes it easy to steam and air fry together.

Ninja Speedi is such a unique air fryer type because its Speedi Meals feature allows you to make “steamed then air fried” meals in one shot with its dual layer rapid cooker functionality.

So you can have your steamed food (the rice) at the bottom and air fried food (the beef) on top, cooking at the same time.

You can also use Ninja Speedi accessories like air fryer pot so you can remove and eat from the pot directly, or the gripper to easily help you remove the crisper tray.

Ingredients

• Ground Beef
• Jasmine Rice
• Bok Choy
• Carrot
• Green Onion
• Garlic
• Soy Sauce
• Thai Spice Blend
• White Wine Vinegar
• Water

How To Make Thai Beef Bowl in the Ninja Speedi

Here’s how to make the quick and easy Ninja Speedi Thai Beef Rice Bowl.

Rinse the rice on the Ninja Speedi pot.

Add water to the rice.

Chop the bok choy and add to the pot.

Dice the carrot and add to the pot.

Mince the garlic and add to the pot.

Thinly slice the green onion and add to the pot.

You can also only use half of the green onion here, and use the remaining half as toppings after.

Add soy sauce, white wine vinegar and Thai spice blend to the pot.

Mix everything well until sauce and seasonings combine.

Make sure the rice is fully submerged in the water.

In a bowl, add ground (or minced) beef, minced garlic and Thai spice blend.

Mix everything until combined.

Pull out the legs of the Ninja Speedi Crisper Tray.

Place the Crisper Tray on the elevated position in the pot.

Using your damp hands, make 4 beef patties (equally sized) and place them on the corners of the Crisper Tray.

Close the Ninja Speedi lid and turn the unit on.

Flip the switch to Rapid Cooker and select Speedi Meals.

Set the temperature to 350F and time to 12 minutes.

Press Start.

Note: It takes around 5-10 minutes to build steam before crisping.

When cooking is complete, use silicone-tipped tongs, anti-scalding gripper or silicone mini gloves to grab the center handle and remove the crisper tray from the Ninja Speedi.

Drop beef patties on top of rice.

Break the beef patties as you fluff and mix rice with vegetables.

Scoop the Thai beef and rice into bowl.

Enjoy this Ninja Speedi Thai Beef Bowl!

Tips for Ninja Speedi Thai Beef Bowl

Here are some tips for the Ninja Speedi Thai Beef & Rice Bowl recipe:

• Don’t use 100% lean beef so the beef patties don’t become too dry.
• But also don’t use very fatty ground beef so the rice bowl doesn’t accumulate too much grease.
• Aim for 70-80% fat so it adds a nice balance of flavour and juiciness.
• For an even healthier Thai rice bowl, use turkey or chicken instead of beef since they are generally lower in saturated fat than beef.
• You can use other white rice instead of Jasmine rice.

Can You Use Speedi Recipe on the Ninja Combi?

With the Ninja Combi All-in-One Multicooker, Oven and Air Fryer, you might be wondering if Ninja Speedi recipes will work for the Combi as well.

I don’t have a Ninja Combi, but, on researching the functionalities and customer feedbacks who have both, here are my findings:

• Ninja Combi seems to be just an updated version of the Ninja Speedi.
• The Combi basically has the same features as Ninja Speedi.
• It’s just that Ninja Combi is bigger and in a oven-style, loading from the front instead of the top.
• Instead of Speedi Meals, you use Combi Meals function.
• The Speedi has inner pot and crisper tray and the Ninja Combi has a bottom pan and bake tray for the two-level cooking.
• Whereas the Speedi is good cooking meals for 1-2 people, the Combi is good for families and parties.
• Customers who have used both Speedi and Combi say the recipes are interchangeable because of the same setup and features.

So it seems like Ninja Speedi Recipes can be Ninja Combi Recipes.

If you’ve tried a recipe in both Speedi and Combi, let me know your experience.
