With Jack Frost still thumping at the door we’re giving you a seasonal boost! Brown rice is packed full of much needed fibre whilst chilli is the perfect way to preventing a cold.

Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil with ½ tsp of salt. Wash the rice under running water for 30 seconds (important step!). Boil the rice for 25 mins until soft enough to eat. Drain the rice and put it back in the pan off the heat and cover with a tea towel.
Peel and slice the onion in half lengthways and then very thinly slice. Peel and finely dice the garlic, finely dice the chilli and roughly chop the coriander. Thinly slice the celery widthways and chop the pepper into 3cm chunks. Peel the ginger using the edge of a spoon and then very thinly chop.
Chop the pork into 2cm chunks then dab it dry with some kitchen towel (if you have some). Toss the pork in the cornflour together with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tsps of oil in a non-stick pan on high heat. Once really hot, carefully add in the pork (it might sputter a bit). Stir-fry the pork in batches for 3 mins while you toss the pan. Remove the pork from the pan and set to the side.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the pan and add in the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger. After 1 minute, add the yellow pepper and cook for 2 mins.
Now add the sugar snap peas and the celery and cook for another minute. Add 2 tbsps of water and cover the pan. Leave to cook for another 2 mins.
Squeeze the juice of half the lime into the hoisin sauce. Take the lid off the stir fry and add in the sauce together with the pork. Sprinkle over a couple of tbsps of chopped coriander. Toss everything together for a minute and then serve with the rice.
