Pork and Pak Choi Rice
with chilli and coriander
Pak choi is a popular ingredient in Chinese cuisine, but did you know it's actually a type of cabbage? It can be prepared in many ways, but is at its best when slightly softened with a bit of bite left, which is precisely how it is in this recipe.

Instructions
1
- Add 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
- Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed and finely chop half (double for 4p).
- Trim the scallion and thinly slice. Trim the pak choi, then thinly slice leaves widthways.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
3
- Place a large pan over high heat (without oil).
- Once the pan is hot, add the pork mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks.
4
- Add the pak choi, onion, garlic, scallion and chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice) to the pan.
- Drizzle in a little oil if necessary.
- Cook until the veg is softened, 4-5 mins.
5
- Pour in the ketjap manis and soy sauce and stir everything together.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in half the coriander.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the mixture is too dry.
6
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls.
- Top with the pork stir-fry and remaining coriander.
