INGREDIENTS
 2 rice measuring cups jasmine rice
 400 g good boneless white fish meat (alternatively you can use chicken breast, pork, or tofu to suit your mood)
 1⁄2 tin or 1 quarter fresh pineapple (if fresh, use one quarter per 2 people)
 1 tsp cider vinegar, or white vinegar – you can also use lime or lemon juice
 1 dash Sri Racha chilli sauce
 2 tomatoes cubed or quartered
 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
 1 ½ birdseye chilli either fresh or dried (we use two as we like ours spicy)
 1 tsp brown sugar or honey
 1 clove garlic to your own taste
 1 cube chicken/vegetable stock diluted with 100ml of hot water
 1 white/yellow onion
 1 tbsp light soy sauce
 2 spring onions, plus any other veggies you want to use (we use, carrots red peppers, green beans, baby sweetcorn, mange tout, broccoli and tomatoes)

HOW TO MAKE
1

Add the long grain jasmine rice to your rice cooker bowl and fill to LONG GRAIN 2 cup rice level line. Use the WHITE RICE or LONG GRAIN function and press START.

Sweet and sour fish

The Hom Mali variety of jasmine rice is always preferable due to it’s purer,
fragrant and delicate texture. When cooked correctly in a good rice cooker
this rice is absolutely sublime.
