Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Pork

  1. Fill and boil your kettle for the rice.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over high heat.
  3. Add the pork mince and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.

2. Cook the Rice

  1. Meanwhile, fill a saucepan with the boiling water from your kettle.
  2. Add the cardamom pod and ¼ tsp salt.
  3. Stir in the basmati rice and boil for 12 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Drain in a sieve, then set aside (remove the cardamom pod).

3. Prep Your Veg

  1. Slice the shiitake mushrooms (if not already pre-sliced).
  2. Chop or tear the Chinese leaf into bite-size pieces.
  3. Peel and mince the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  4. Zest the lime, then cut it into wedges.
  5. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

4. Stir-Fry the Veg

  1. Add the shiitake mushrooms and Chinese leaf to the pan with the browned pork.
  2. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the Chinese leaf is softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic and ginger purée and cook for 1 minute, letting the aromas develop.

5. Sauce It Up

  1. Pour in the ketjap manis and soy sauce.
  2. Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly to allow the sauce to thicken—this should only take a minute or so.
  3. Squeeze in a bit of lime juice to taste.
  4. Stir in half the coriander and remove the pan from the heat.

6. Serve

  1. Return the drained rice to the saucepan, then stir in the lime zest.
  2. Divide the rice between two bowls or plates.
  3. Spoon over the pork and mushroom mixture.
  4. Garnish with the remaining coriander and a lime wedge for extra zing.
  5. Enjoy your lightning-fast stir fry!

Chef’s Tip:

  • Removing the cardamom pod after cooking the rice leaves behind just the right hint of fragrance.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your liking with extra soy sauce or a squeeze more lime.
