Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil the water for the rice in a pot or saucepan (see pantry for amount).
  • Cook the rice for 10 - 12 minutes, covered, then turn off the heat and allow to stand for 5 minutes, still covered.
  • Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
  • Slice the carrot into thin crescents. Drain the pineapple, being sure to reserve the juice.
Fry the carrot
2
  • Melt a knob of butter in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the carrot for 5 - 6 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and two thirds of the water for the sauce, then cover with the lid.
  • Steam the carrot for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fry the pork
3
  • Thinly slice the pork.
  • Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan over high heat.
  • Fry the pork for 3 - 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and done. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Make the sauce
4
  • Fry the garlic and the onion in the same pan for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the pineapple juice, the soy sauce, the brown sugar, the white wine vinegar and the rest of the water for the sauce.
  • Mix well to combine and allow the sugar to dissolve, then bring the sauce to a simmer.
Finish
5
  • In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 0.5 tbsp cold water per person.
  • Transfer the cornstarch slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly for around 30 seconds so as to thicken it.
  • Add the pineapple, along with the pork and its juices.
  • Mix well until the pork is coated and glossy, then cook for 1 more minute.
Serve
6
  • Fluff through the rice with a fork and season with salt. 
  • Serve the rice on plates with everything else alongside.
  • Top with any residual sauce from the frying pan.
  • Garnish with the sesame seeds to finish.
