Laksa-flavoured leftover pork knuckle meat with coconut creamed rice and a side of broccoli

Ingredients

• Leftover pork knuckle meat
• Rice
• Coconut cream
• Lime leaves
• Laksa paste
• Lemongrass paste
• Spring onion
• Broccoli florets

Instructions

1. Thinly slice some leftover pork knuckle meat.
2. Crush some lime leaves in your hands to release the oils and aroma of the lime. If you don’t have strong hands (like me!) you can crush the leaves in a mortar with a pestle or beat them with a wooden stick like a rolling pin.
3. Heat a wok and add in some laksa paste, lemongrass paste, and crushed lime leaves.
4. Add in a tin of coconut cream and mix everything and bring it to a simmer.
5. Cook for a few minutes to ensure the flavours and aromas all intermingle.
6. Add in the sliced pork knuckle meat and bring everything to a simmer and keep cooking for a few minutes until the pork knuckle meat is warmed through.
7. Stir in some cooked rice and bring it back to a simmer and allow the liquid to reduce and thicken.
8. Turn off the heat and mix through the green part of some sliced spring onion.
9. Aliquot some of the curry into a bowl and the rest into a container to refrigerate for a meal later in the week.
10. Cook the broccoli with microwave radiation.
11. Serve the broccoli as a side in the style of my BFF.
