The Governor’s Kung Bao

with Brown Rice and Cashews

Difficulty: 2/3
Asian

Legend has it that in the late nineteenth century, the governor of Sichuan province, Ding Baozhen, was missing quite a few of his teeth. One day he ducked out of his palace to eat in a local restaurant, where the chef served him a dish of beautifully chopped up, quickly stir-fried ingredients. The governor was so impressed with the dish (not least because it was easy for him to eat), that he hired the chef full time and christened the recipe with his official name, Kung Bao. Though some people doubt the story, we’re convinced it’s the tooth*. *Sorry, we couldn’t resist that one!

Preparation
1

Boil a large pot of water for your rice.

2

Thoroughly rinse your rice under cold water for a minute. Add the rice to the boiling water with 1/4 tsp of salt and cook for arond 20-25 mins until soft. Tip: Once cooked, drain the rice, put back in the pot (off the heat) and cover with a clean tea towel for 5 mins.

3
Separate your broccoli into florets

Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic and chilli. Peel the ginger with the edge of a spoon and finely chop. Finely slice the spring onions (including the green part) and chop the mushrooms in half or any monsters into large chunks. Separate the broccoli florets from the stalk and cut them in half. Boil another pot of water for the broccoli. Cook the broccoli for about 3 mins, then drain.

4
Mix together your sauce

To make the kung boa, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar and 2 tsp of sugar (if you have some) in a small bowl.

5
Fry your mushroom and broccoli

Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. When hot, add the broccoli and cook for 1-2 mins. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further for 1-2 mins without moving the pan. Tip: If you stir the mushrooms too often they won’t get nice and brown!

6
Add the kung boa

Add the garlic, chilli (as much as you dare!), ginger, and three quarters of the spring onion to the pan (reserving some of the green bits) and cook for 2 mins. Add the kung boa mix and cook for a further minute, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cashews.

7

Serve the rice into bowls, top with the kung boa and the remaining spring onion. Tuck in!
