Ingredients

500g diced pork loin
3 tbsp light soy sauce, plus extra to serve
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 garlic clove, crushed
2.5cm piece fresh ginger, grated
4 tbsp honey
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 red pepper, sliced
60g mangetout, finely sliced
2 pak choi, cut into quarters

Method

Place the pork in a bowl with the soy sauce, sesame oil, five spice, garlic, ginger and honey. Toss together and set aside for 10 minutes.
Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the pork with a slotted spoon and fry until almost cooked. Add the marinade and bubble for 5 minutes until sticky.
Meanwhile, in a separate wok or frying pan, heat the remaining oil and stir-fry the pepper and mangetout with a splash of water for a few minutes. Add the pak choi and cook for a further minute, then stir in the beansprouts. Toss with the pork, drizzle with soy sauce, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve.
