Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle 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 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 all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, roughly chop baby leaves
• In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, ginger paste, remaining garlic and the sesame oil.
• When the rice has 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook pork mince mixture, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring, until sticky, 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, then add oyster sauce, the soy sauce and a splash of water. Season with pepper and toss until well coated, 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, combine a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. • Add baby leaves and Asian slaw mix and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with Vietnamese caramelised pork and rainbow slaw. • Garnish with crushed peanuts and tear over mint. Dollop over garlic aioli to serve. Enjoy!
