Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the jasmine rice, water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 11-12 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water has absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, thinly slice the red onion. Thinly slice the capsicum. Trim the green beans and slice into thirds. Roughly chop the coriander. Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves.
Slice the lemon into wedges. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water(for the sauce) and a squeeze of lemon juice.
In a large frying pan or wok, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion, capsicum, ginger paste and remaining garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the pork mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the char siu paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add the green beans and the soy sauce mixture to the pork mince and stir-fry until the beans are just tender, 5-6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the coriander and mint leaves.
Divide the garlic rice between plates and top with the char siu pork and green bean stir-fry. Sprinkle over the roasted peanuts. Serve with the lemon wedges.
