BBC Food Stir-fried Pork with Ginger and Honey is a recipe we come back to again and again. It’s quick and easy to make and the sauce is so flavoursome. Tip: I keep all the ingredients the same but double the sauce ingredients. It’s quite a thick sauce so I thin it out with a little hot water. Recipe link here.
Here’s my peanut chicken stir-fry, an adaption of Tom Kerridge recipe as I decided not to buy the chilli oil, rice wine vinegar, tahini, Sichuan peppercorns and peanuts- it was just going to be too expensive and also wasteful as I know many of these ingredients would have gathered dust in my cupboard! I used sesame seeds that I had in instead of the peanuts to garnish the stir-fry.
I invested in an @oxo good grips julienne peeler to get the carrot and cucumber thinly sliced- it was really easy to use. The cucumber was really nice to sprinkle on the stir-fry before eating, not something I’ve done before but I’ll definitely do it again.
