Method

Step 1

Add the pork to a bowl with the garlic, ginger, chilli, lime juice, Chinese five-spice and 1 tsp of the sesame oil. Mix well and set aside for at least 5 minutes to marinate (you could leave for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge).

Step 2

Roughly chop the pak choi stems, leaving the leafy top intact, and set aside.

Step 3

Add the rapeseed oil to a wok or pan then add the pork, any remaining marinade, and cook for 1–2 minutes each side.

Step 4

Add the spring onions and chopped pak choi stems (retaining the leaves). Stir for 2–3 minutes.

Step 5

Now add the leafy pak choi tops and the remaining 1 tsp of sesame oil. Stir fry for a further minute, then serve.

Recipe tips

Chicken, turkey, beef or prawns would also work well with this recipe.
If the food starts to stick or the pan gets too hot when stir-frying if stick, add 1 tbsp water and continue to cook.
