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.

  1. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked. Drain then rinse under cold water.
  2. Place the pork in a bowl and mix with the paprika and half the ginger & garlic paste. Leave to marinate. Drain the pineapple chunks into a bowl (reserving the 100ml pineapple juice for later).
  3. Make the barbecue sauce; in a small bowl, combine the spicy chipotle (to taste), tomato puree, tamari, remaining ginger & garlic paste and 100ml pineapple juice.
  4. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Add the pork and cook for 2-3 mins, until golden. Add the barbecue sauce and simmer for 3-4 mins, until the sauce thickens and the pork is cooked.
  5. Make the rice salad; drain the sweetcorn. Thinly slice the pepper. Coarsely grate the carrots. In a large bowl, combine all the veg with the cooked rice. Stir in the chilli paste (to taste), juice from the lime and 1 tbsp olive oil. Mix well and season with sea salt to taste.
  6. Serve the rice salad in bowls. Top with the pork, spooning over any remaining barbecue sauce.
