Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat and brown the pork mince for 3–4 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle over the sugar and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring, until it melts, darkens and coats the meat.

  3. 3

    Stir in the fish sauce, garlic and ginger with a splash of water, and simmer for 5 minutes until sticky.

  4. 4

    Season to taste, then serve over the rice, scattered with sliced spring onion.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 350 g pork mince, 7 spring onions and 100 g cooked rice. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
