How to make Curried Plum and Green Bean Stir-Fry

In a small saucepan, bring rice, 1/4 teaspoons salt and 300ml water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover; simmer until rice is tender and absorbs the water, 30 to 35 minutes. Turn off heat; leave covered. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook spring onion whites, chilli, ginger, curry, black pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt, stirring, 2 minutes. Add 120ml water and green beans; cook, stirring, until beans turn bright green, about 2 minutes. Add plums, pepper and coconut milk; cook and stir until colours are bright and sauce is thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in cashews. Divide plum-green bean mixture among 4 plates. Serve with rice; sprinkle with spring onion greens before serving.
