Using Indonesian sweet soy, also known as kecap manis, and brown sugar makes this pork a sticky sweet delight.
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons ABC kecap manis
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tablespoons rice bran oil
- 500g pork schnitzel (uncrumbed)
- 1 bunch fresh chives, cut into 2cm lengths
- Steamed Asian greens, to serve
Method
- Step 1Place rice and 2 cups cold water in a large microwave-safe container. Microwave, covered, on high (100%) for 13 minutes or until tender. Cool.
- Step 2Meanwhile, combine ginger, kecap manis, soy sauce, brown sugar and half the garlic in a small bowl. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook pork for 1 minute each side or until just browned. Transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Step 3Add soy mixture and 1/2 cup cold water to pan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until reduced by half. Return pork and juices to pan. Toss to coat. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Transfer pork to a board. Slice and return to sauce.
- Step 4Heat remaining oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add rice and remaining garlic. Season with salt. Cook, tossing, for 4 to 5 minutes or until rice is hot. Sprinkle over chives. Spoon rice mixture onto serving plate and top with pork mixture. Serve with steamed Asian greens.
