- Wash the rice well in a sieve, then tip into a saucepan. Add 400ml water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 12 mins until tender.
- Add the gammon to a large bowl with the five-spice, soy sauce, honey and orange juice. Season with black pepper and toss together.
- Heat the oil in a wok over a medium-high heat. Using a slotted spoon, add the gammon pieces (leaving the marinade in the bowl) and cook for 3-5 mins until beginning to go golden and sticky.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min. Add the mange tout and choi sum and toss together. Pour in the remaining marinade and cook for 2-3 mins until the choi sum begins to wilt and the sauce has thickened. Serve with the rice.
