1 packet
basmati rice
1
courgette
½
lemon
1 knob
ginger
1 punnet
button mushrooms
1 packet
pork mince
1 sachet
kecap manis
(Contains: Soy; )
1 packet
Crispy Shallots
4 clove
garlic
½ sachet
Thai Seven Spice Blend
(Contains: Milk; )
olive oil
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
1.5 cup
water
¼ tsp
salt

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 basmati rice, water and the salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the courgette into half-moons. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Finely grate the ginger. Thinly slice the button mushrooms.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the pork mince and a pinch of salt and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the courgette and sliced mushrooms until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add the ginger, remaining garlic and the Thai seven spice blend (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Return the pork to the frying pan and stir to coat. Add the kecap manis, lemon zest, a splash of water and a generous squeeze of lemon juice and stir to combine.

Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the pork and mushroom stir-fry. Garnish with the crispy shallots and serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
