Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat BBQ to high heat. In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook ginger paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and a generous pinch of salt to the pan and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from 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!

• Cut corn cob in half. Trim and roughly chop pea pods. • In a medium bowl, add premium pork fillet and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and turn to coat.

• When BBQ is hot, grill pork, with lid down, until charred and cooked through, 8-12 minutes each side. • Remove pork from grill. Brush over char siu paste and return to grill, turning, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.

NO BBQ? Preheat oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in large frying pan over high heat. Sear pork until browned, 1 minute on all sides. Place pork on a lined oven tray and roast, 12-14 minutes for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from oven and brush over char sui paste. Cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
