To make the coconut rice, place the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water and salt into a pot, then bring to the boil.

Add soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, peanuts and coriander, then stir fry for another two minutes.

 

Serve the beans piled on top of the rice with some extra fresh coriander and chilli.
