Cooking Steps
Thinly slice the red onion. In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch the sliced onion in your hands, then add to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover the onion, then set aside.
Finely chop the garlic. Drain the sweetcorn. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. In a second small bowl, combine the sesame oil blend (see ingredients), brown sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce and the water. Set aside. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are "popping" out.
Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the pork mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the garlic and ginger lemongrass paste (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the oyster sauce mixture, tossing to coat, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
While the pork is cooking, transfer the spinach, slaw mix to the bowl with the charred corn. Top with the garlic aioli and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat. Season to taste.
Wipe out the frying pan and return to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, crack the eggs into the pan. Cook until the egg whites are firm and the yolks are cooked to your liking, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: This will give a soft yolk, fry for 6-7 minutes for a hard yolk.
Drain the pickled onion. Divide the corn and spinach slaw and Vietnamese-style pork between bowls. Top with the fried egg and some pickled onion. Sprinkle with the crispy shallots to serve.
