Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle, then peel lengths of courgette[s] until you end up with a pile of courgette ribbons
Combine the ground turmeric with a generous pinch of salt, 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] sugar and 50ml [100ml] boiled water in a heatproof bowl and stir until the sugar has dissolved
Add the rice vinegar and courgette ribbons and set aside until serving – this is your pickled courgette
2
Meanwhile, bash the lemongrass with a rolling pin, cut it [them] down the middle lengthways, remove the tough outer layers (save them for later) and chop the softer inner core[s] finely
3
Add the basmati rice, outer lemongrass layers and 250ml [500ml]cold water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving
4
While the rice is cooking, peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) the ginger
Peel and finely slice the red onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add 3/4 of the sliced red onion (if you don't like raw onion, add it all) and cook for 3-4 min
5
Add the pork mince to the onion and increase the heat to high
Cook for 5-7 min or until beginning to crisp, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go
Once crisp, add the fish sauce and chilli jam (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and cook for 2-3 min further or until everything is brown and sticky
Tip: Watch it like a hawk to prevent the sauce from burning!
6
Top, tail, peel and grate the carrot[s]
Strip the mint leaves from their stems and chop them finely, discard the stems
Chop the coriander finely, including the stalks
Bash the peanuts with a rolling pin (keep them in the bag so you don't lose any!)
7
Add the bashed peanuts, chopped ginger and chopped lemongrass to the pan and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Remove the lemongrass outer layers from the rice and discard
Fluff the cookedrice with a fork and stir the black sesame seeds through – this is your black sesame rice
Stir the chopped mint and coriander through the pork – this is your stickyVietnamese pork
