Pork Bun Cha & Garlic Rice Bowl

We’re taking this Vietnamese classic dish off the streets of Hanoi and putting our own twist on it. Serve up these sweet chilli and oyster sauce glazed pork meatballs with a mixture of rainbow veggies. The twist is swapping out the noodles for a fluffy rice.

Cooking Steps

1
1

• 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 to the pan 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!

• Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). • In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add it to pickling liquid. Add just enough water to cover the onion. Stir and set aside.

• In a large bowl, combine pork mince, zesty chilli salt, fine breadcrumbs, the egg and remaining garlic. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

TIP: Reduce the heat if your meatballs are browning too quickly.

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil (if needed). Cook Asian stir-fry mix until just tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add oyster sauce and sweet chilli sauce, then toss to combine.
