Instructions

How to cook rice  

• Measure the desired amount of rice. For most types of rice, you’ll need 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water, which you can scale up or down.  
• Rinse the rice to get rid of dusty starches.  
• Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water from the rice becomes clear.  
• Bring water to a boil at high heat.  
• When the water is boiling add rice and salt.  
• After adding the rice, the temperature of the water will drop, and it will stop boiling. Wait until it is back to a gentle simmer. Then reduce the heat to low and keep the lid on.  
• Set a timer for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for five to ten minutes with the lid on.  
• Put the rice aside to cool.

Make the wok  

• Chop onion, garlic, and ginger finely.  
• Roughly slice the pork luncheon meat. 
• Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.  
• Add the vegetables and meat to the pan and sauté together. 
• Once the vegetables soften, add rice and coconut milk, and let it simmer for a few minutes.  

Serving 

• Serve the meal hot with finely cut cilantro on top. 
• Enjoy!
