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: Pork (same time as step 1)
  • Cut the potatoes into small chunks.
  • Add some oil to a casserole dish or a non stick pot and place over medium to high heat.
  • Cook the pork belly until they are golden brown outside, then add in onions and fry until they are slightly softened.
  • Add potatoes and sauce to the dish and cook over low heat with lid on until pork belly is tender and sauce is thickened and sticky.(Add a little water if is needed.)

Step 3: Vegetables

  • Add a little 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.
