Thai-Style Basil Lean Double Pork With Green Beans

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg

Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)

Now, let's get started!

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Trim, then chop your green beans in half

Once hot, add your mince (remove the paper if required!) and chopped green beans to the pan and cook for 3-4 min, breaking the mince up with a wooden spoon as you go

(Doubled your protein? Use 2 pans!)

Squeeze your pouch[es] of cooked long grain rice to separate the grains

Tear the top corner of the pouch[es] (just a little!) and microwave for 2 min or until piping hot

Tip: If you're cooking two or more pouches, pop them in together but increase the microwave cook time accordingly

Slice your red chilli[es] finely

Combine the sliced chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), ginger paste, roasted garlic paste, hoisin sauce, soy sauce and fish sauce in a small bowl – this is your fragrant sauce

Add the fragrant sauce to the pan and cook for 30 secs

Add a small splash of water and cook for a further 4 min or until the mince is cooked through (no pink meat!) and the sauce has thickened

Once thickened, pick your basil from their stems, discard the stems and add to the pan and give everything a good mix up – this is your Thai-style basil mince with green beans
