Sticky Sweet Chilli Pork and Basil Rice

"Just love sticky sweet chilli recipes and well have a fair bit of pork in the freezer, so hoping to try this soon, from recipe+ NOTES - microwave rice is precooked and just needs to be reheated. Replace pork with chicken or firm tofu."

  1. Big hit. I used a red jalapeno as my chili. As I had no bok choy or basil, I used some regular cabbage and some spinach, which made a very nice color contrast with the red bell pepper/capsicum. Probably used a bit more Thai chili sauce and rice, did not really measure that part of it. Used two pork chops to make about half the recipe. I wish I had some left for lunch tomorrow, oh well.... I had time to do a lot of the prep in the morning, so making this for dinner was a snap.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
