Instructions

  • Cook the rice according to instructions on the packaging, adding the star anise to the pot to flavor the rice.
  • Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the onion and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the ginger and yellow curry paste along with the sugar, cook for a further minute.
