3. When rice is golden, pour on a plate to cool. In the same skillet over high heat, add beef mixture. Cook, breaking meat into small pieces, about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from heat.
4. nAdd remaining T of lime juice, scallions, mint, cilantro, Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce and sugar to meat. Mix well.
5. Add cooled rice to a spice grinderor blender, and grind into a sandy powder. Add to meat mixture and mix well.
