Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain. Stir in half the sesame oil and season with sea salt (to taste).
- Meanwhile, make the pickled salad. Slice the cucumber into long batons. Peel the carrot into ribbons. Thinly slice the radishes. Place all in a large bowl with the vinegar, half the honey, a good pinch of sea salt and 1 tsp olive oil.
- When the rice has 10 mins left to cook, begin cooking the pork. Place the pork and its juices into a saucepan. Simmer for 2-3 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until most of the liquid has gone. Add the hoisin sauce and cook for a final minute until the sauce is piping hot. Stir in the remaining honey.
- Thinly slice the spring onions. Serve the rice in bowls alongside the pork and pickled salad. Sprinkle the spring onions and sesame seeds on top and drizzle over the remaining sesame oil.
