First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Large Frypan
Medium Pot
Small Frypan

Step 1

1 Cook Rice

In a pot, combine the jasmine rice, a pinch of salt and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Keep covered until ready to serve. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.

Tip! Taste the rice - if it is still too firm, add a few more tablespoons of water.

Step 2

2 Prepare Ingredients

Peel and thinly slice garlic. De-seed and slice capsicums. Pick Thai basil leaves. Trim ends of green beans and chop into 1cm pieces. Thinly slice red chilli on an angle (de-seed and use less chilli for a milder option).

Tip! When you're swapping the chef selected protein; adjust the cooking times and method to ensure your protein is properly cooked and therefore safe to eat.

Step 3

3 Cook Aromatics and Pork

Heat oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Add minced lemongrass, garlic and chilli (to taste) and cook for 1 minute. Turn heat to medium high, add pork mince, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, cook for 3-4 minutes until pork is lightly browned.

Tip! Garlic and chilli can burn easily so make sure to watch the pan closely and stir.

Step 4

4 Add Veg

Add green beans and capsicum and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add oyster sauce and sweet soy and cook for 1 minute, making sure to stir so all ingredients are coated with sauce. Turn heat off and stir in basil leaves. Taste and adjust season as needed.

Tip! Basil should be slightly wilted.

Step 5

5 Cook Eggs

In a small fry pan fry 1 egg per person if desired, try to keep a runny yolk.

Step 6

6 You Plate It

Fluff the rice and divide between plates. Top with pork stir fry and a runny yolk fried egg. Enjoy
