Crafond Sauce pan-- Put the rice and water on to boil using the cooking instructions on the packet. Normally it is double the water for amount of rice.







Castey 45cm Plancia Plate-- Place the pork steaks on your flat tray, plancia plate, grill pan, or baking tray in the over or if you’re using one of our Fundix Flat trays directly on the hob. Allow the pan to heat up form a medium heat and place steaks on. Once bottom is brown flip the steak.

Once water is boiling, take the pan with rice and put on low heat covered with lid. It will cntinue to cook and soften.

Once both sides of the Pork steaks are brown and cooked through till white in the middle, remove from hob and tray. Place on cutting board to slice into smaller portions.

Once cut, put into bowl and pour over sweet and sour sauce. Set this aside.

Crafond Sauté Pan--- Place your vegetables in the pan. Remember no oil or butter is needed if you’re using a Perfect Pan.  Allow to cook with lid on for 5-10 minutes.

Check rice. If all the water has been absorbed and the rice still seems firm, add a splash of water and re-cover to finish cooking.

Add the meat and sauce to the Sauté pan with the vegetables and stir. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Dinner is done!

Plate the rice first and then put the vegetable and meat mixture on top. This recipe is tailored for 4 people; we have included the portion sizes in the ingredients list so that you can change it to what you need.
