Step 1: Rice
Always wash rice before cooking, drain off excess water with sieve.
Gas Hob (100g rice with 150g water)
- Bring to boil on medium to high heat. (Take off the lid if the water starts to overspill.)
- 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: Courgette (while the rice is resting)
- Add generous amount of oil to the frying pan and place over medium heat.
- Cook both sides of courgette until golden brown.
- Take out of the pan and let it rest.
Step 3: Vegetables
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to wok or frying pan and place over medium to high heat.
- Add in vegetables, season with salt and stir continuously for 1 minute.
- Add a little water just to cover the bottom of the pan and cook with lid on until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Sauce
- Heat in microwave for 1 minute (or over a medium heat on the hob) and pour over courgette.
(Steps 2 and 3 can be done simultaneously.)
