Method

  • To cook the rice, in a saucepan, add 1 cup of rice to 2.5 cups of cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand, covered for 5 minutes. If you are not sure how, we have a helpful “How to Cook rice section” to make you a pro.

    __Tip: __For a quicker alternative, we also have a range of ready rices, that are ready to eat in 90 seconds!

  • Drain rice, then place in a mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water. Drain well, then spread out on a tray to cool. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  • Heat a large wok over a medium heat. Add oils and swirl to coat. Stir-fry onion, capsicum and corn for 4 minutes, or until almost tender. Add cabbage and garlic and stir-fry 1 minute longer or until vegetables are tender.

  • Add ginger, lemongrass and curry paste and stir-fry for 1 minute longer. Add rice, peas, green onions, tofu, ketjap manis and soy sauce. Continue cooking, tossing until heated through. Add bean sprouts and toss to combine.

  • Divide between serving bowls and top with extra sliced green onion. Serve with lime wedges.
