Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain. Return to the pan and set aside.
Make the pickled cucumber; finely dice the cucumber into 1cm cubes. Quarter the onion. Finely dice one-quarter and chop the remaining into bite-sized chunks. Place the cucumber and diced onion into a bowl with vinegar and a pinch of sea salt. Mix and leave to pickle.
Dice the pepper into 3cm squares. Dice the pork loins into 6 cubes each, then add to a bowl with the pepper, onion chunks, spice blend, half the tamari and 1 tsp oil. Toss gently to coat, then thread the pork and veg onto the skewers.
Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 10-12 mins, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Quarter the lime. Make the satay sauce; mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, remaining tamari, juice from 2 lime wedges and 1-2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Stir 1 tsp pickling liquid (to taste) through the rice.
Serve the rice with pork skewers and pickled cucumber. Drizzle over the satay sauce. Garnish with remaining lime wedges.
