Method

  • Place the Hinode Medium Grain Brown Rice and water into a rice cooker and set to cook.

  • Once all the ingredients are prepped, heat a large wok over high heat.

  • Once hot, add the oil and the pork and use a wooden spatula to push the pork out to the edges and allow it to brown really well on one side.

  • Once golden underneath, add the lemon grass and onion to the top and then stir.

  • Cook for 5mins then add the brown sugar, coconut and cooked rice and mix well.

  • Pour in the lime juice, fish sauce and hoisin and continue to cook over high heat for 5mins stirring occasionally, until there are golden crispy bits and everything is combined.

  • Sprinkle with peanuts and serve immediately with fresh herbs and lettuce cups.

  • Hint: Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar to taste. Add chilli as desired.
