sweet and sour pork with mixed vegetables and rice

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 and sauce (while the rice is cooking)

• Mix the flour with some water (a little at a time) to form a paste.
• Add pork into the flour mixture and soak for a few minutes.
• Add some oil in a wok or frying pan and place over high heat, lift pork pieces out one by one and shake off excess mixture.
• Fry the pork pieces until they are golden brown and crispy. (this can also be done in an air fryer)
• Heat the sauce in a saucepan, add pork in and mix well.

Step 3: Mixed 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.
