Instructions

1 Prep

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Place the seitan nuggets on a lined baking tray and bake for 20 min. Meanwhile, dice the bell peppers. Slice the spring onion. Drain the pineapple chunks (see pro tip). Once cooked, chop the nuggets into bite-sized pieces.

2 Prep sauce

Juice the orange. Add 50 ml of orange juice, 100 ml of pineapple juice, the sweet chilli sauce, ketchup, vinegars, soy sauce, sugar and garlic powder to a small saucepan. In a small glass, whisk 1 tbsp of water with the corn starch until smooth. Add the starch mixture to the saucepan.

3 Cook sauce

Place the saucepan over a medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture starts to bubble. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, for 2-3 min further or until glossy and thickened. Set aside.

4 Boil rice

Meanwhile, rinse the jasmine rice. Add the rice, measured water and a pinch of salt to a pan with a lid and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Remove from the heat and keep covered until serving.

5 Stir-fry

Meanwhile, heat a large pan over a medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil. Cook the bell peppers with a pinch of salt for 3 min until slightly softened. Add the baked nuggets, spring onion (reserve some for garnish), pineapple, cashew nuts and sweet and sour sauce. Simmer for a final 2-3 min.
