Ingredients (Serves 4)

1 kg pork belly strips

200 ml water

30 ml olive oil

1 pinch chinese five spice

300 g brown rice

1 tbsp light soy

200 g soy beans or broad beans (frozen)

200 g spinach

1 pinch sesame seeds

Glaze

45 ml teriyaki sauce

30 ml ketchup

30 ml honey

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp vinegar

Instructions

Rice

Cook brown rice in salted boiling water, slightly covered for 20minutes. Drain and reserve once cooked.

Pork Strips

While the rice is cooking dust pork strips in Chinese five spice, salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil over them. Fry the pork strips for 4 minutes each side in a very hot pan until nicely coloured. Turn the heat to medium and pour in the amount of water specified in the ingredients list.

Scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the flavour and burnt bits mixed into the water and reduce by half.

Note – you need some water left in the pan before you add the glaze.

Glaze

Mix all the glaze ingredients together. Once the water has reduced in the pan with the pork strips, pour in the glaze and swirl around, turning over the pork strips to coat fully. Once the glaze has thickened but is still a little loose (consistency of double cream) remove from the heat and rest for five minutes.

Greens

Boil frozen beans in salted water for a few minutes, then drain, drizzle with a little olive oil and fold in the spinach in batches until wilted and folded through.

Assemble

Serve a portion of brown rice in each bowl, drizzle with a little light soy sauce, add a portion of greens and finally a couple strips of the glazed pork belly. Finish with an extra drizzle of sauce and pinch of sesame seeds.
