  1. RICE, RICE BABY

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary, and fluff up with a fork.

  2. COCONUT & SALSA

    Place the coconut flakes in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly golden, shifting occasionally. Set aside. In a bowl, combine the drained pineapple pieces, the lime juice, ½ the sliced Chilli (to taste), ½ of the chopped coriander, the sultanas, and seasoning.

  3. IT BRINGS ME SO MUCH CHOI

    Separate the leaves of the trimmed pak choi and rinse well. Slice the leaves in half lengthwise and thinly slice the stems. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pak choi stems for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the pak choi leaves and fry for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from the pan on completion.

  4. TANGY TUNA & FLUFFY RICE

    Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the tuna chunks and fry for 30-60 seconds until lightly charred, shifting occasionally. Toss the cooked rice with ½ the toasted coconut flakes and the remaining coriander.
