Cooking Tips
- This recipe is great for using up leftover rice. The rice will absorb the stock as it cooks. If it becomes too thick, add a little extra water.
- As an alternative to rice, try making this dish with rice noodles or vermicelli.
Nutrition Advice
- Minced pork is a good source of protein, which is vital for muscle building and for keeping organs healthy.
- In comparison to white rice, brown rice is a whole grain that has more protein, fibre, calcium, magnesium, vitamin E and potassium. People who eat several servings of whole grains daily have less heart disease, diabetes and cancer, and are less likely to be overweight.
