Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. Add the boiling water (1 1/4 cups for 2 people / 2 1/2 cups for 4 people ) to a medium saucepan. • Add jasmine rice, stir, bring to a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from the heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into rounds. • In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and the salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. • Dip pork schnitzels into flour mixture, followed by egg, and finally in panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

3

• When rice has 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan with enough olive oil to coat the base over high heat. • Fry pork schnitzels in batches until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

4

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine Japanese dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with pepper. • Just before serving, add mixed salad leaves and cucumber. Toss to coat.

TIP: Tossing the salad just before serving keeps the leaves crisp!

5

• To the saucepan with the rice, add soy sauce mix, stirring to combine.

6

• Slice pork. • Divide Japanese rice and cucumber salad between bowls. Top rice with pork. Tear over coriander leaves. • Drizzle sesame dressing and BBQ sauce over pork to serve. Enjoy!
