1 Heat the oil in a wok or large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Sprinkle the pork with the five spice powder, then stir-fry for 3–4 min until almost cooked. Transfer to a plate.

2 Add the carrot, onion, broccolini, mangetout and pak choy stems to the wok or pan along with 3tbsp water. Stir-fry for 4–5 min until the veg are tender and the water has evaporated.

3 Return the pork to the pan with the pak choy leaves, oyster sauce and half the chilli. Add 2–3 tablespoons water to thin the sauce, if necessary. Stir-fry for 2 min or until the pork is cooked through.
