Cooking Steps

1
1

Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover onion, then set aside.

2

Finely chop garlic. Drain the sweetcorn. Roughly chop mixed leaves. In a second small bowl, combine the brown sugar, oyster sauce, the soy sauce and the water. Set aside. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.

3

Return frying pan to high heat with sesame oil blend (see ingredients). When oil is hot, cook pork mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add garlic and ginger lemongrass paste (see ingredients). Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add oyster sauce mixture, tossing to coat, 1 minute. Season with pepper. Transfer to a bowl, then cover to keep warm.

While the pork is cooking, add mixed leaves, slaw mix, garlic aioli and a drizzle of olive oil to the bowl with charred corn. Toss to combine.

5

Wipe out frying pan, then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, crack the eggs into pan. Cook until whites are firm and 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.
