Directions

1. To make the Asian slaw, peel the carrot and daikon. Place a bowl on weighing scales then shred into matchsticks until you have 20g of carrot and 20g of daikon. Add 1 tbsp. white vinegar, 1 tbsp. warm water, 1 tbsp. of white sugar and a pinch of salt. Leave to sit for at least 20 minutes.
2. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear and drain, repeat if necessary. Add two parts water to one part rice in a saucepan, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil covered. When most of the water has evaporated and the top of the rice is visible, turn the heat down to low and leave to cook covered for 10 minutes before turning the heat off, leaving to sit for another 10 minutes.
3. For the pork, finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger, and then slice the chilli and spring onion, set aside. Bring a non-stick pan to medium-high heat and add the oil, onion, ginger and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the onions have softened but not browned.
4. Add the pork mince and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the brown sugar. Cook untouched for 2-3 minutes until the bottom has caramelised then stir and repeat until all the meat has caramelised. Next stir in the fish sauce and dark sweet soy sauce.
5. Combine the cornstarch with 2 tbsps. cold water in a small bowl and then add to the mince. Add in the spring onion, chilli, and coriander stirring to combine, salt and pepper to taste.
6. Fry an egg in a small non-stick pan to your liking. Plate the pork, rice and Asian slaw, top with the egg, then slice and add the cucumber. Finish with sesame seeds and serve.
