Cooking Steps

1

• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add jasmine rice, water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

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

• When the rice has 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook pork mince mixture, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Drain any excess oil from the pan. • Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring, until sticky, 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, then add oyster sauce, the soy sauce and water (for the sauce). Season with pepper and toss until well coated, 1 minute.
