RICE RICE BABY
Rinse the rice and place in a pot. Submerge in 150ml of salted water, pop on a lid, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and mix through the shelled edamame beans. Replace the lid and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes until cooked and tender. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot.
ACT CASHEWAL...
Place the cashews in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
CRISPY PORK
Pat the pork dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized chunks. Place 1 tsp of the cornflour in a bowl, crack in 1 egg, and add a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined. Place a pot over medium-high heat and fill with 4-5cm of oil. Place the remaining cornflour in a separate bowl and season well. Add the pork to the bowl of egg and cornflour, and toss until fully coated. One by one, remove each piece and coat in the dry cornflour, dusting off any excess before transfering to a plate. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the pork for 3-4 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Remove on completion and set aside to drain on some paper towel.
A LIL SWEET & A LIL SOUR
Return the pan to the heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion slices for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Mix in the pineapple pieces and fry for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Stir through the sweet ’n sour sauce and 20ml of a sweetener of choice. Allow to come to the boil, then immediately remove from heat. Stir through the pork pieces until fully coated. Season to taste, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.
