How to make the Big Mac rice bowl
This is a really easy recipe to make that will soon become a firm family favourite. If you know that a Big Mac is out of the question so you can stay on plan then this is definitely a recipe worth trying.
Firstly get all your ingredients out to ensure you have everything you need.
Wash the rice well to ensure the water runs clear, this stops the trice from sticking together when cooking and makes the best rice.
Add the rice and water to a medium-sized pan and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a simmer and place the lid on the pan and cook for 16-18 minutes until cooked. Then remove the pan from the hob and set aside.
Whilst the rice is cooking you can start the mince recipe. Using a frying pan, brown the mince and season well with salt and pepper to taste. This should take around 8-10 minutes.

Enjoying this Big Mac style rice bowl on Slimming World
This recipe is predominantly syn free I believe with the only syns being in the mayonnaise. The syns in the mayonnaise vary depending on brand but are minimal at around 1 syn per portion. Watch out for the lowest fat mayonnaise, usually called lighter than light or very low fat.
The cheese you use in this recipe can be weighed and used as part of your healthy extra a allowance for the day or synned accordingly.
If you choose 5% fat mince then this is usually also syn free, if you buy other mince then this will likely need to be synned. Check this in your Slimming World book or with your consultant or online.
