Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12 minutes. • Drain, return to saucepan with the butter. Stir to combine and cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook Asian stir-fry mix until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• In a medium bowl, combine pork, the plain flour and season with pepper. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook pork strips in batches, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. • Return all pork strips back to pan and remove from heat. Add char siu paste, oyster sauce, the vinegar, sesame oil and a splash of water. • Return veggies to the pan with pork and toss to combine.
• Divide rapid rice between bowls. • Top with sticky char siu pork and veggie stir-fry. • Spoon over any remaining sauce and garnish with crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
