Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups long-grain rice
  • 1 – 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2cm knob of ginger, minced
  • 500gm pork mince
  • 1 medium carrot, halved and sliced into thin strips lengthways
  • 1 red pepper, halved and sliced into thin strips lengthways
  • 2 spring onions, halved and sliced into thin strips lengthways
  • 1 birds eye red chilli
  • 40ml hoisin sauce
  • 30ml honey
  • 40ml soy sauce
  • 30ml Chinese Shaoxing wine or sherry
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 tsp Chinese 5 Spice Powder
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts or cashew nuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to packet instructions.
  2. Mix together hoisin sauce, honey, soy, shaoxing wine and five-spice powder. Mix cornstarch into a tablespoon of water and add it to the soy sauce mixture. This is your char siu sauce.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan, at garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds. Next, add pork mince and cook on high heat until nice and browned. Remove from pan at set aside.
  4. Add a little more oil if needed, throw in carrots and peppers and cook on high heat for 1–2 minutes, adding a small splash of water halfway through to create steam. Be careful not to over-cook, vegetables in a stirfry should always have ‘bite’ rather than be soft and cooked all the way through.
  5. Add pork mince back to the pan, combine with vegetables and stir through char siu sauce.
  6. Cook for 30 seconds, combining well. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve char siu pork on top of rice. Garnish with spring onions and chopped peanuts or cashew nuts.
