3 clove
garlic
1 packet
basmati rice
1
carrot
1 bunch
Asian Greens
1 packet
pork loin steaks
1 packet
ginger paste
2 bag
herbs
½
Fresh Chilli
1 packet
Sichuan garlic paste
(Contains: Sesame, Soy; )
olive oil
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
3 cup
water
½ tbs
honey
½ tbs
rice wine vinegar
1 tsp
soy sauce
(Contains: Soy, Gluten; )
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 a pinch of salt and 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 has 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 carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop Asian greens. Slice the pork loin steaks into 1cm strips. In a small bowl, combine Sichuan garlic paste, the honey, the rice wine vinegar, the soy sauce and a splash of water.
In a medium bowl, combine the ginger paste, remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the pork strips, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook the pork, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for the best results!
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the carrot until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the Asian greens and cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, then return the pork strips to the pan along with the Sichuan sauce mixture. Toss to combine.
Thinly slice the herbs and the long green chilli (if using). Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the Sichuan pork and veggies. Garnish with the spring onion and chilli to serve.
