GOLDEN PUMPKIN
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the pumpkin pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
SOAKING STATION
Place the skewers in a shallow dish, cover with water, and allow to soak for 10 minutes – this prevents them from burning when over the heat. Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 225ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
SAUCY SATAY
Place a small pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated ginger and the grated garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Whisk in the Asian sauce, the peanut butter and 50ml of warm water. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened and saucy. Season to taste. Just before serving, add a splash of warm water if it’s too thick.
SKEWERED
Thread the pork chunks onto each skewer, making sure they are secure. Coat in oil and some seasoning. Place a pan over a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan, cover in tinfoil, and leave to rest for at least 5 minutes.
FLASH FRY
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add ½ the sliced cabbage and fry for 1-2 minutes, until slightly softened, shifting occasionally. Add the cooked rice and toss until fully combined. Season to taste.
ALMOST THERE...
In a salad bowl, toss the remaining sliced cabbage with some olive oil and seasoning.
SATAY SUPPER
Make a bed of rice. Top with the pork skewers and the roasted pumpkin, and drizzle over the satay sauce. Serve the slaw on the side and sprinkle over the sliced spring onion. Well done, Chef!
