Instructions

Cook rice

  1. In a large pot over high heat add 1 cup jasmine rice and1 ¼ cup of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium or medium-low and cover. Simmer for 12 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff rice with a fork then stir in the 2 tsp sesame oil.

Make sauce

  1. In a small bowl combine 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp kecap manis, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp honey.

Cook pork

  1. Separate 400 g pork stir-fry. Dust the pork with ¼ cup cornflour and shake off any excess. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frypan over high heat until very hot. Stir-fry the beef for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove from the pan and reserve the pan.
    Tip: Get the pan very hot before adding the pork and stick to the short cooking time.

Prep veggies

  1. Meanwhile, halve 1 carrot and 1 zucchini lengthwise and thinly slice at an angle. Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. Thinly slice 1 spring onion and 1 red chilli, removing the seeds if less heat is desired (if using).

Cook stir-fry

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the reserved pan over high heat. Stir-fry the carrot for 1 minute or until starting to soften. Add the zucchini and stir-fry for a further 2-3 minutes until just tender. Add the sauce, garlic, ¼ cup cashews, 1 cup baby spinach and the pork to the vegetables. Cook, stirring, for a further 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is slightly thickened.

To serve

  1. Divide the jasmine rice between plates and top with the pork, veggie & cashew stir-fry.
