FLUFFY JASMINE
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.
IN A PICKLE
Place the halved tomatoes and the rice wine vinegar in a bowl. Toss until fully combined and set to pickle until serving.
GLORIOUS GOLDEN MINCE
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add in the grated ginger, the grated garlic, the grated Lemongrass and the sliced chillies (to taste). Fry for 1-2 minutes, shifting constantly, until fragrant. Add the pork mince and cook for 2-4 minutes or until white all over, breaking it up as it cooks. Add a sweetener of choice and the fish sauce. Stir to combine, then leave until the juices evaporate and the pork starts to caramelise. Then stir it and leave it again for about 30 seconds to caramelise it further. Repeat twice more or until caramelised to your preference.
CHARRED GOODNESS
Place a pan on a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, char the pineapple rings for 2-3 minutes per side. Drain the vinegar from the tomatoes.
