Here is another quick and easy stir-fry recipe that tastes great. I usually make this with bok choy you will see from the photo that I used Gai Lan as my local Asian grocery store was out of bok choy, so I subbed it with the gai lan. It was still very good and worked just as well it is just we really love bok choy in my family, again as with most stir fries vegetable ingredients can be played around with, either to suit personal tastes or to use up vegetables in the fridge.

This is a really quick easy recipe to throw together that is full of flavour. Be careful with the oyster sauce though I have listed amounts, but if you buy quite a strong brand I would recommend using less, it is a bit like soy sauce with the saltiness of it. The brand I use is not that salty, but I have bought other brands that are so salty they have completely destroyed my meal with the overpowered salty flavour.
Ingredients
700g Pork mince
80-100ml Oyster sauce, depending on strength and saltiness of the brand you buy
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
1 Egg
1 Thai red chilli, chopped finely
1/2 Cup breadcrumbs
100ml Coconut milk
1/3 Cup Thai basil, finely chopped
250g Gai lan, cut into 10cm lengths
250g Baby bok choy
Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 200c Fan-forced
2. Combine mince, 50ml oyster sauce, garlic, egg, chilli, breadcrumbs, coconut milk and basil in a large bowl. Tear off four sheets of foil and shape pork mix into 4 rectangular meatloaves, wrap the foil around each and place in a baking dish, cook meatloaves 20 Min’s
3. Remove foil brush meatloaves with another tablespoon of sauce shared between each. Cook for a further 10-15 Min’s until cooked through.
4. Meanwhile boil, steam or microwave gai lan and bok choy until tender, combine with remaining sauce in a large bowl. Serve greens topped with sliced meatloaves.
