Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the rice, stir well, then cook according to the packet instructions. Heat a wok over a high heat until hot. Add half the oil and, when it’s just smoking, add the beef. Sprinkle with cornflour and stir-fry until browned all over. Remove from the pan and set aside. Stir-fry the cashews until just golden, then set aside. Carefully wipe the wok until clean using kitchen paper. Bring to a high heat and add the remaining oil.
