Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Rinse the rice under cold water and tip it into a small pan. Add 300ml boiling water and a pinch of salt. Cover, bring to the boil then turn the heat right down. Gently cook for 6-8 mins till all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Take the pan off the heat and let it sit, lid on, for 5 mins to finish cooking the rice. It will keep warm in the pan.

  • 2.

    While the rice simmers, peel and finely grate the garlic and ginger. Set to one side. Zest the lime into a small bowl and whisk in the tamari. Cut the lime into wedges.

  • 3.

    Trim the woody ends off the French beans, then cut the beans in half. Finely shred the cavolo nero leaves, discarding any really thick or dry stems.

  • 4.

    Warm a deep frying pan or wok on a high heat for 2 mins. Add 1 tbsp oil and add the pork. Stir-fry for 2-3 mins till golden and nearly cooked through.

  • 5.

    Add the French beans and cavolo nero. Stir fry with the pork for 3-4 mins, stirring every now and then till the veg is tender.

  • 6.

    Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and stir fry for 1 min. Pour in the tamari mixture and 150ml hot water from the kettle, bring up to a bubble and simmer for 2 mins.

  • 7.

    Fluff the rice with a fork, then divide it between 2 warm plates or bowls. Top with the pork and veg. Serve with the lime wedges on the side.
