INGREDIENTS

500g pork spare ribs, trimmed
1/3 cup teriyaki marinade
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
3 cups cooked jasmine rice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
Sliced green onion, to serve

METHOD

Place spare ribs in a shallow bowl. Pour teriyaki marinade over, turning the pork to coat, then chill for 30 minutes.
Heat half the oil in a large frying pan on medium. Cook pork for 4-5 minutes each side, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Rest, covered with foil, for 5 minutes before slicing.
Heat remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan on high. Cook egg for 1-2 minutes, scrambling with a wooden spoon. Transfer to a bowl.
Add vegetables to pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Mix in rice and sauces, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes, until heated through. Stir in egg. Serve rice topped with sliced pork and green onion.

Top tip
You can use sliced fresh vegetables — carrots, beans, green onion and corn kernels — in place of frozen ones.
