Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and a generous pinch of salt 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, 12 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber and red radish into rounds. • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber and radish to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover veggies. Set aside. TIP: Slicing the veggies very thinly helps it pickle faster!
• While veggies are pickling, grate carrot. Finely chop brown onion (see ingredients). Slice lime into wedges. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 2-3 minutes. • Add carrot and onion and cook, until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add Asian BBQ seasoning, soy sauce mix and a splash of water and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Lay filo pastry sheets (see ingredients) on a dry surface and fold in half. • Spoon some pork filling in the center of filo sheet. Fold sides over and roll into a spring roll. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining filo sheets and pork filling. • Wash out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. • Cook spring rolls in batches, folded-side down first, turning, until crispy and golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. TIP: Add extra oil between batches if needed!
• While spring rolls are cooking, in a small heatproof bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and the remaining garlic and microwave in 10 second bursts, until fragrant. • To garlic oil, add sweet chilli sauce and a good squeeze of lime juice. Stir to combine.
• Drain pickled veggies. • Divide garlic rice and pickled veggies between bowls. Top with Vietnamese cheat's pork & veggie spring rolls. Serve with sweet chilli dipping sauce and any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
