Slices of barbecued pork make a tasty addition to a dish of simple greens.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chopped ginger
125 g/4 oz barbecued pork slices
500 g/1 lb choy sum, washed and dried and cut into bite-sized lengths
125 g/4 oz/1/2 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
few drops oriental sesame oil

Directions

Heat wok, add oil and stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.

Add pork and stir-fry for a minute or so longer, then add the choy sum and stir-fry until all the greens have come into contact with the hot oil.

Add chicken stock, cover and steam for 3 minutes. Turn off heat, sprinkle with soy sauce and sugar and toss to distribute flavours.

Serve at once with steamed rice.
