Ingredients

2 teaspoon vegetable or olive oil

500 gram pork scotch fillet steak, cut into 2 cm pieces

1/4 cup malaysian curry paste

400 millilitre can light coconut milk

3 teaspoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 bunch chinese broccoli, stems and leaves chopped

1 lebanese cucumber, seeded, finely chopped

1/4 cup shredded coconut

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 cup cooked jasmine rice, to serve

Method

1.Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat.

2.Add pork; stir-fry for 4 minutes or until browned. Add curry paste; stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add coconut milk, fish sauce and brown sugar; bring to the boil.

3.Reduce heat to moderate. Add broccoli stems; stir-fry for 2 minutes or until tender. Add broccoli leaves; stir-fry for 1 minute or until wilted.

4.Meanwhile, combine cucumber, coconut and juice in a bowl. Season.

5.Divide rice among serving bowls. Top with curry and cucumber salsa. Serve.

For extra crunch, toast coconut before adding to cucumber. Vegetarian: Use firm tofu instead of pork. Swap Malaysian curry paste for Thai red, green or yellow curry paste – or even your favourite Indian curry paste. Swap Chinese broccoli for snow peas. Price will vary. You can also add drained canned pineapple pieces.
