Method

  1. Chop up the Chinese leaf and finely slice the whites of the spring onions (reserving the greens). Heat the sesame oil in a heavy-based frying pan or wok set over a high heat and stir-fry the Chinese leaf and spring onions for 3-4 mins until just tender.
  2. Add the ginger and crushed garlic, and fry for another min. Add the pork mince and fry, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 mins until all the liquid has evaporated. Press the mince down with a spatula for another 1-2 mins until it starts to crisp up.
  3. Whisk the cornflour with ½ tbsp soy sauce until combined, then whisk in the remaining 3½ tbsp, rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp water and clear honey. Pour into the pan and stir-fry for 1 min until sticky.
  4. Microwave the rice to pack instructions and serve with the pork, topped with the spring onion greens and sesame seeds.
