Ingredients
For the sweet and sour sauce
- 2 tablespoon cornflour (corn starch)
- 125 ml pineapple juice from a tin (4 oz)
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar (or cider vinegar)
- 2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
For the rice
- 250 g basmati rice (1 cup)
- 475 ml water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the dish
- 1 pack big bag Quorn Crispy Nuggets (476 g)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks from a tin
- 2 spring onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 cm fresh ginger
- ½ red pepper
- ½ green pepper
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit, 180 fan oven).
- Arrange the Quorn Crispy Nuggets on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until golden.
- To make the rice, rinse it with cold water until the water runs clear, then add it to a pan set over a medium heat.
- Cover the rice with the water, add the salt, and place a lid on the pan.
- Leave it to cook until all the water is evaporated.
- Remove the pan from the heat, but still leave the lid on for 5 minutes for the rice to fluff up.
- To make the sauce, add the cornflour to a large bowl, pour over 2 tablespoons of the pineapple juice, and mix well to get a smooth paste.
- Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and give it a good stir.
- When the rice and nuggets are ready, heat up the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan set over a high heat, add the peeled and chopped garlic and ginger, and chopped spring onions.
- Stir fry for 30 seconds, then add the roughly chopped peppers and stir fry for a further 1 to 2 minutes - they do not need to be completely tender.
- In go the pineapple chunks and nuggets together with the sauce.
- Give everything a good stir for the sauce to thicken.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with the cooked basmati rice.
Notes
- Make sure you have all the ingredients ready and prepared before you start cooking, as stir frying is a really quick process - chopping the vegetables can take longer than the actual stir frying process.
- I prefer cooking the Crispy Chicken Nuggets beforehand if they are frozen, because of their size they won't have time to cook well in stir frying.
