Method

  1. Place the rice in a saucepan with 300ml boiling water. Bring to the boil, stir once, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 mins, by which time the rice should have absorbed all the liquid and be perfectly cooked. Dry-fry the sesame seeds until toasted golden, then tip into a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan or wok, add the pork and peppers and stir-fry for 5-6 mins over a high heat until the pork is lightly browned and cooked through. Mix the cornflour and soy sauce together in a bowl, then add the lime juice, honey, chilli and sesame seeds, plus 6 tbsp cold water. Pour into the wok and cook until the sauce has slightly thickened, tossing the pan to coat the pork and peppers. Serve with the rice.

    This is really easy, quick and tasty. Doesn't have many ingredients in it and most are in the cupboard anyway. Have had this a few times now.

    This was OK but nothing special - I doubt that I'll bother with it again.

    Tasty dish. I made it for four, and it seemed to take much longer to prepare than stated, even doubling it. I'm a bit slow chopping peppers, I think. The sauce was popular.

    The missus liked it, it had that nice honey/ soy combination to it, always tastes better than the local takeaway!

    Thanks to all the reviewers who warned about the sweetness - I used a tablespoon of honey and that was still a bit too sweet but not unbearably so. Next time I'll halve it again! Apart from that it's a yummy sauce, I like the way it thickens up and coats the meat. I used half a courgette and small onion instead of pepper.
