GORGEOUS BLACK RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Pop on a lid, place over a medium heat, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer with the lid on for 30-35 minutes until the water has been absorbed. If it starts to dry out during the cooking process, add more water in small increments to continue. On completion, it should be cooked but bouncy. Remove from the heat and drain if necessary. Cover with the lid and set aside until serving.
PAK CHOI & SESAME SEEDS
Trim the base of the pak choi, separate the leaves, and rinse well. Slice the green, leafy parts in half lengthways and set aside. Finely slice the stems, keeping them separate from the green leaves. Place the sesame seeds in a pan or wok over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove on completion and set aside to cool.
SEAR THE VENISON
Drain any liquid from the venison packaging and pat the strips dry with some paper towel. Return the pan or wok to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the strips for 2-3 minutes until browned but not cooked through, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion, season to taste, and set aside.
SASSY STIR FRY
When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, return the pan or wok to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil if necessary. When hot, sauté the sliced onion and pak choi stems for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the grated ginger and fry for another minute until fragrant, shifting regularly. Add in the sliced green beans and the cabbage and carrot. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted and the green beans are cooked al dente, shifting occasionally. Stir through the sweet tamari sauce, pak choi leaves, and venison strips. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the leaves wilt and the venison is cooked through. Season to taste and remove from the heat on completion.
