• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, finely chop carrot. Roughly chop Asian greens. Thinly slice spring onion.
• In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, the soy sauce, honey, vinegar and a splash of water.
Little cooks: Take charge by combining the sauce!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork mince and carrot, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 5-6 minutes. • Add Asian greens and shredded cabbage mix and cook, tossing until just wilted, 1-2 minutes.
• Add ginger paste and remaining garlic and cook, tossing, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add oyster sauce mixture and stir until slightly reduced, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with Asian pork larb. • Sprinkle over roasted peanuts and spring onion to garnish. Enjoy!
