There are so many great flavours associated with Thai food. Here i have taken a classic bolodnese and added some of those flavours to create something really special. Ingredients:
250 g thai fragrant rice |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 onion, halved and sliced |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
1 red pepper, cored, seeded and roughly chopped |
500 g pork mince |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
180 ml chicken stock |
2 teaspoons cornflour |
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce |
50 g fresh basil leaves |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook the rice in a pan of boiling water for about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes until golden. Stir in the garlic and red pepper and cook for 4 minutes, then add the mince and chilli powder and cook for 2-3 minutes until well browned. Stir in the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Blend the cornflour with 1 Tbsp of water and the soy sauce until smooth, add to the pan and stir until slightly thickened; season and stir in the basil leaves. Drain the rice and spoon onto plates, top with the thai mince and serve with a scattering of fresh basil leaves.
