This dish is an irresistible combination of baby spinach, tasty pork and garlicky rice, with the feel-good factor of cooking a wholesome meal from scratch. The best part is the sesame aioli to make it super satisfying.

1

1 bag

1 packet

(Contains: Eggs, Soy; )
1 sachet
hoisin sauce
(Contains: Soy; May be present: Eggs, Fish, Milk, Cashew, Almond, Sesame)
1 packet
jasmine rice
½

1 packet

½ packet
Sesame Oil Blend
(Contains: Sesame; )
4 clove
garlic
1 bag
baby spinach leaves
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
olive oil
¼ tsp
salt
2 tbs
soy sauce
(Contains: Soy, Gluten; )
1.25 cup
water (for the rice)
1 tbs
rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
1 tbs
water (for the sauce)
1 tbs
water

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the jasmine rice, water(for the rice) and the salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the 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, thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice the button mushrooms.

In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, water (for the sauce) and 1/2 the sesame oil blend (see ingredients). In a second small bowl, combine the garlic aioli, water (for the aioli) and the remaining sesame oil blend. Set aside.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook the carrot and sliced mushrooms until tender, 5-6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high, then add the baby spinach leaves and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a bowl.

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the pork mince and remaining garlic, breaking the mince up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce mixture and cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Return the veggies to the pan and stir to combine.
