The best thing about this dish is as well as tasting delicious, it’s so quick and easy to prepare. We recommend using reduced salt soy sauce otherwise it will taste too salty. You can be flexible with the green vegetables – choose whatever is available and in season. Hoisin sauce is available in your supermarket and gives the dish a great flavour.

Heat the stove top to medium, add the sesame oil, chilli, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for a few minutes.
