Method

1. Add a little oil to a hot lidded frying pan. Add rice. Toast uncovered for a mo. Add a pinch of salt and the water. Mix. Lower heat. Cover. Cook for 30-40 mins, or till the water is absorbed.
2. Prep your veggies as the rice cooks. Let the rice steam as you sizzle the veg.
3. Gloss a hot wok with oil. Tumble in the garlic, chilli, ginger, onion/leek and any firm veg like carrots.
4. Once soft, slowly add the other veg. Start with the firm veg, add delicate veg like broccoli last.
5. Once the veg is soft with a crunch, add your rice. Add a good splash of soy, lime or lemon juice and some zest.
6. Adjust seasoning to taste. Finish with toasted coconut, cashews or sunflower seeds and herbs.

Brilliant! Chuck anything in.. great way of using everything up. Perfect for autumn comfort food without being heavy. Generous dose of Chinese five spice added a lovely flavour and warmth. Highly recommend!
