Thanks to a medley of sweet chilli, ginger and lemongrass, and our Thai stir-fry spice blend, this dish smells so amazing as it cooks, it's tempting to eat it straight from the pan. But it's worth the short wait, especially when served over fluffy coconut rice, the tastiest accompaniment around. Don't forget the roasted peanut garnish, for extra crunch and nuttiness.
Unfortunately, this week's green beans were in short supply, so we've replaced them with zucchini. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

• In a medium saucepan, add coconut milk, the water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat. • Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Thinly slice zucchini and carrot into rounds. Set aside. • In a small bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce, ginger-lemongrass paste, the soy sauce and a splash of water. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine Thai stir-fry spice, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add pork strips, tossing to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook pork, in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Cooking the pork in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and carrot, tossing, until just tender, 3-4 minutes. • In the last minute, add the sweet chilli mixture. Return pork to pan and toss until coated and heated through. Remove pan from heat.
• Divide coconut rice between bowls. • Top with Thai-spiced pork and veggie stir-fry. • Sprinkle with roasted peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
