Instructions

Step 1

Instruction

Pour the water (see ingredients for amount) into a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Tip in the basmati rice, bring to the boil, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 mins, then remove from the heat and set aside (still covered) for another 10 mins. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam.

Step 2

Instruction

Meanwhile, pop the pork strips into a mixing bowl with the cornflour and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well. Set aside. IMPORTANT: Remember to wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat! Remove the top and bottom from the carrot (no need to peel!), halve lengthways and slice into thin half moons. Halve, then remove the core from the pepper and cut into thin slices. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, soy sauce, water (see ingredients for amount) and rice vinegar.

Step 3

Instruction

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat. Once hot, add the pork and stir-fry until golden all over, 3-4 mins. Add the carrot and pepper and cook until slightly softened, another 2 mins.

Step 4

Instruction

Lower the heat, then pour the sauce into the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the pork is cooked through and the sauce is thick and glossy, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The pork is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle. If it gets a bit dry just add a splash of water!

Step 5
