  • Turn down to low, cover with lid and cook until water is fully absorbed. (approximately 10 minutes)
  • Turn the gas off and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

 

Microwave (100g rice with 200g water)

  • Microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes with no lid
  • Take out of the microwave, cover with lid and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2: Pork (while the rice is resting)
  • Add generous amount of oil to the frying pan and place over medium heat.
  • Cook both sides of pork until golden brown and firm to touch.
  • Take out of the pan and let it rest.

Step 3: Greens

  • Add a little oil to wok or frying pan and place over medium to high heat.
