Method

  1. First, make the sauce. Heat the coconut milk until simmering. Put the peanut butter in a large bowl and stir in the hot coconut milk. Once combined, whisk in the curry powder, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic & ginger paste and 1½ tbsp sesame oil, along with 75-100ml just-boiled water (depending on how thick you’d like the sauce). Measure out 250ml and set aside the remaining 250ml for the Satay sharing platter.
  2. Cook the rice and frozen soya beans to pack instructions. Drain; stir through half the coriander.
  3. Meanwhile, score the pork with a sharp knife in a criss-cross pattern, then rub all over with the remaining sesame oil. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook for 12-15 mins, turning halfway, until cooked through. Pour over half of the satay sauce and bubble for 1 min, basting the pork.
  4. Put the rice into serving bowls and top each one with a pork steak; spoon over the remaining satay sauce. Scatter over the spring onions, remaining coriander and peanuts, if using, to serve.
