Keep some veggies plain for less adventurous kids. Set these aside once stir-fried and don't add them back to the pan to be coated with sauce in step 5.
Ingredients
RICE
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 2 1/4 cups boiling water
- Pinch of salt
TANGY LEMON SAUCE AND STIR-FRY
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons vinegar (e.g. white wine, red wine, cider)
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornflour mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 carrots
- 2 spring onions
PORK
- 550g pork sirloin steaks (at room temperature)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons cornflour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of ground black pepper
Steps
-
a large pot of salted water to the boil.
-
Combine all rice ingredients in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight fitting lid and reduce to the lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift the lid at any time during cooking.
-
In a medium bowl combine all tangy lemon sauce ingredients (except veggies). Cut broccoli into small florets; peel carrots and cut into matchsticks (or grate); slice spring onions 1cm on an angle. Remove excess fat from pork and slice into 0.5cm-thick strips.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan or wok on high heat. In a medium bowl combine all remaining pork ingredients (except pork), then toss pork through cornflour mixture to coat well. Stir-fry pork, in two batches, for 1–2 minutes, until golden on both sides and just cooked through.
-
Remove from pan and set aside. Heat a second drizzle of oil in the same pan used to cook pork and stir-fry broccoli, carrots, and spring onions for 1–2 minutes, until just starting to become tender. Remove from pan and set aside with the pork.
-
Reduce heat to medium and add tangy lemon sauce to pan used to cook veggies. Bring to the boil then simmer for about 2 minutes, until thickened slightly. Pour into a small jug. Return pork and vegetables to the pan and toss with a little of the sauce, just to heat through.
-
Spoon ¾ cup cooked rice into each bowl and top with tangy lemon pork stir-fry. Drizzle over remaining tangy lemon sauce, if desired.
