Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice and 1/4 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

In a Pickle
2

Meanwhile, trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.

In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar for the pickle (see pantry for amount) and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the carrot ribbons, toss to coat, then set aside to pickle.

Time for Tenderstem®
3

Halve the broccoli widthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Tenderstem® and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 secs, then add a splash of water.  Cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 4-6 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Stir-Fry Time
4

Meanwhile, drain the prawns.

In a medium bowl, combine the Indonesian style spice mix, plain flour and salt (see pantry for both amounts). Add the prawns and toss to coat.

Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, fry the prawns until golden and crispy, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.

Sauce Things Up
5

When the prawns are crispy, pour in the bulgogi sauce, sambal paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder), half the soy sauce and the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).

Stir to combine, bring to the boil and simmer until thickened slightly, 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything's ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and stir through the remaining soy sauce.

Share the rice between your bowls. 

Top with the bulgogi prawns, garlic broccoli and pickled carrot in separate sections.

Enjoy!
