Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out a large frying pan or wok, a medium frying pan, a medium bowl, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug
Get sizzlin'
- Toss the turkey with the cornflour in the medium bowl, along with a pinch of salt and pepper
- Heat the large frying pan or wok with 2 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey and cook for 10 mins, turning occasionally, until golden
Do the prep
- Meanwhile, dice the peppers and onion into 2cm chunks. Thinly slice the spring onions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Drain the half tin of pineapple chunks, reserving 2 tbsp of the juice (1 tbsp for 1 person) for later
Add the veg & pineapple
- Add the pepper, pineapple, onion and spring onion whites to the turkey pan
- Cook for another 6 mins, until the veg is soft and the turkey is cooked through
Make the sweet & sour sauce
- In the small bowl, mix together the ketchup, tamari, vinegar, honey and the reserved pineapple juice
- Add the sauce to the turkey pan and simmer for 1-2 mins, until thick and glossy
Heat up the rice & plate up
- Heat the medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon
- Add 50ml water (25ml for 1 person) and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot
- Check your turkey pieces are cooked through; the meat should be white with the juices running clear
- Share the sweet & sour turkey between bowls, with the rice alongside. Scatter over the spring onion greens
