Instructions

Step 1

Put all the ingredients for the pork, except the cornflour, in a bowl, season with a pinch of salt, and turn to coat the meat evenly. Dust with the cornflour, and set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce in a jug, along with 50ml cold water, then set aside.

Step 3

Heat a wok over a high heat until smoking, and drizzle in the rapeseed oil. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for a few seconds to release their flavours.

Step 4

Add the pork fillet and let it settle for 10 seconds to sear & brown, then flip it over. Add the rice wine and toss for another 5 seconds.

Step 5

Add the pak choi leaves, then drizzle 1 tbsp cold water around the edge of the wok to create steam to help it cook. Toss for 30 seconds to wilt the leaves, then pour in the sauce and toss again. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with jasmine rice.
