Thanks to Pyrex for this week’s recipe.

You’ll need

450g pork loin, thinly sliced

2.5cm piece root ginger

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tbsp runny honey

1 tsp five spice powder

2 tbsp soy sauce

½ small red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

2 tsp coconut oil

50g toasted cashew nuts

200g broccoli broken into small florets

150g pak choi, sliced lengthways

2 tsp runny honey and 2 tsp soy sauce to finish

1-2 tsp chia seeds

200g buckwheat or whole wheat noodles

Method:

Put the pork into a bowl. Peel and chop ginger and add to bowl along with garlic, honey, five spice, soy and chilli. Stir well and leave to marinade for 10 minutes.

Heat the coconut oil in a wok (we used a Pyrex 28cm so there was plenty of room to stir without spilling) and fry the drained pork for 2-3 minutes on a high heat until it begins to brown.

Add the broccoli and pak choi and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender (add a tablespoon of water if it becomes too dry).

Mix the honey and soy sauce and drizzle over the top, sprinkle over the nuts and chia seeds.

Serve on cooked buckwheat or whole wheat noodles.
