• 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.
Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!
• 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.
• Drain pickled onion. • Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with rainbow veggies, pork meatballs and pickled onion. • Tear over mint and sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the peanuts!
