Ingredients
BROWN RICE
- 1/3 cup Japanese brown rice
- ½ cup water
GINGER STIR-FRY SAUCE
- 1-1½ tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- ¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¾ teaspoon honey
- ¾ teaspoon cornflour
PORK STIR-FRY
- ¼-½ broccoli
- ½ carrot
- ½ courgette
- ¼ cabbage
- 140g lean pork strips (at room temperature)
- Spray oil
- 1-2 tablespoons water
TO SERVE
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons coriander
Steps
-
Prepare garlic and ginger. Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a small pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 10 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
-
In a small bowl, mix all ginger stir-fry sauce ingredients together, until cornflour is dissolved then set aside. Heat a medium, dry fry-pan on medium heat. Toast sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes, until golden (if desired). Remove from pan and set aside. Reserve pan.
-
Cut broccoli into small florets; cut carrot and courgette in half lengthways and thinly slice both on an angle; thinly slice cabbage until you have 1 cup worth; chop coriander. Set all aside.
-
Pat pork dry and season with salt. When rice is steaming, return reserved pan to high heat. Spray with oil, add pork and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until just cooked. Remove pork from pan and set aside.
-
Spray pan with oil again (if needed) and return to high heat. Stir-fry broccoli, carrot, courgette and cabbage for 3-4 minutes, until just cooked and still crunchy. Add water to pan to help veggies cook.
-
Reduce heat to medium and add ginger stir-fry sauce to pan. Return pork, stir to combine and heat through for about 1 minute, until sauce thickens slightly and coats vegetables. Season with pepper.
-
TO SERVE spoon 1/3 cup cooked Japanese brown rice onto a plate and top with ginger pork stir-fry. Garnish with READY IN sesame seeds and coriander.
