tbsp in the pan.

Add into the pan the peeled and sliced garlic and the spring onion, fry for 1 minute.

Add uncooked rice and fry again for about 1 minute.
Pour in the wine and cook for a further 2 minutes until
most of the liquid evaporates.

Next, add all ingredients of hoisin sauce, hot stock, and
cranberries, bring to a boil.
