The secret to stir-frying is the heat. You need a really high heat to cook the ingredients quickly and prevent them stewing in their own juices. That way your stir-fries will always be fresh and crisp, not limp and soggy.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon rice bran oil
500 g pork fillet or skinless chicken breast, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 bunches baby bok choy, quartered
1 bunch broccolini
100 g snow peas, trimmed
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
1/4 cup lime or lemon juice
2 tablespoons salt-reduced soy sauce

Serve with:
coriander leaves
steamed Basmati rice or noodles

Methods/steps

1. Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan on high. Stir-fry the pork in 2 batches for 2-3 minutes. Remove to a plate.

2. Add the onion, garlic and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until just tender.

3. Return the pork to the wok with the baby bok choy, broccolini, peas, sweet chilli sauce, citrus juice and soy sauce. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until greens are just beginning to wilt.

4. Sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
