Cooking Steps

PDF

• Add the water (for the rice) to a medium
saucepan and bring to the boil.
• Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and
reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from
heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all
the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so
don’t peek

• Meanwhile, thinly slice onion (see ingredients).
• Trim green beans.
• Using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot into
ribbons.
• Trim cos lettuce and separate leaves.
• Drain sweetcorn.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over high heat.
• Cook pork mince, sweetcorn and onion,
breaking mince up with a spoon, until just
browned, 3-4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then stir in sweet
chilli sauce, oyster sauce and the water (for
the sauce). Simmer, until bubbling and slightly
reduced, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with
pepper.

• Meanwhile, add green beans and a splash of
water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with
a damp paper towel.
• Microwave on high until just tender,
2-4 minutes.
• Drain, then return to the bowl and season to
taste. Cover to keep warm.

• To the pan with rice, stir in the vinegar, sugar,
mayonnaise, mixed sesame seeds and salt,
until coated.
• Lay a piece of cling wrap on a clean surface and
place a heaped spoonful of rice mixture in the
centre.
• Gather the cling wrap up around the rice
and twist tightly at the top to create balls
(approx 3-4 per person).

• Divide lettuce boats, carrot ribbons and green
beans between plates. Fill lettuce boats with
pork and sweetcorn mixture.
• Serve with sesame rice balls. Enjoy!
