Coconut Rice Recipe
- 2 cups jasmine rice

1. Place pork in a large glass bowl. Add sugar, coriander roots, garlic, lemongrass, fish sauce, sesame oil and soy. Combine well and cover with plastic wrap. Place in fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to marinate. Thread meat onto 12 x 25cm skewers.
2. To make coconut rice, wash rice in several changes of cold water until it runs clear. Transfer to a medium saucepan. Stir in coconut milk, salt and 1 3/4 cups water. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and place over a medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Set aside for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat a chargrill pan over a medium heat. Spray skewers with cooking oil and grill, turning, for 10-12 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
