Here is another wok recipe I like stir fry’s as they are quick, easy and reasonably priced to prepare and they are a great way to use up your left over vegetables in a nutritious meal. I served as is but it would go well with steamed rice, as I said yesterday we are watching our carb intake at the moment. This again would serve 3 good portions 4 smaller ones as is, or 4 good portions if served with rice.
Note: Char Siu Sauce also know as Chinese BBQ sauce. It is a paste like ingredient that is dark-red-brown in colour and has a sweet and spicy flavour. Made from fermented soy beans, honey and various spices.

600g Pork fillets, sliced thinly

2 Red chili’s, chopped finely (add as many or as few seeds as you want.)
1 Onion, sliced thinly
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
2 Teaspoons lime juice
1 Carrot, cut into matchsticks
120g Baby corn, halved
300g Baby bok choy, chopped coarsely
