Cooking Steps

Cook the Rice and Beans
1

a) Boil a full kettle.

b) Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.

c) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins, adding the beans for the last 5 mins.

d) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Leave to the side until ready to use.

Get Prepped
2

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

c) Trim and thinly slice the spring onion.

Fry the Pork Mince
3

a) Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

b) Once hot, add the pork mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat.

c) Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Spice Things Up
4

a) Stir the garlic and Chinese Five Spice into the pork and cook for 1 min.

b) Meanwhile, drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

c) Add the sweetcorn, cooked green beans and rice to the pork. Mix well to combine.

Finish your Fried Rice
5

a) Stir the ketjap manis, soy sauce, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the fried rice. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

Serve
6

a) Share the pork fried rice between your bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the peanuts.

c) Scatter with the spring onion to finish.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: Opinions are divided — many find the dish full of bold, satisfying flavour, while others feel it lacks depth or becomes repetitive after a few mouthfuls.
  • Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward recipe that comes together easily, even on busy weeknights.
  • Suggestions: Use cold, pre-cooked rice to avoid a sticky or soggy result; dry-fry the green beans separately for a better texture and a little char. Consider reducing the ketjap manis or honey slightly if you prefer a less sweet finish, and add chilli flakes for extra heat.
  • Next-day meals: Leftovers keep well and taste great the next day — try serving cold portions in little gem lettuce leaves for a fresh twist.
  • Portions: The dish is generously sized and can stretch comfortably to three servings rather than two.
