INSTRUCTIONS
Green Stir Fry
2 tbsp peanut oil; 2 cloves garlic crushed; 1’2 tsp star anis; 1 tsp salt; 12 oz pac choy, shredded; 8 oz baby spinach (leaves, not pre-cooked); 1 oz mange tout peas; 1 green bell pepper, sliced; 1 celery stick (best from the heart pieces) sliced; ¼ cup (2 fl oz) vegetable or homemade chicken stock; 1 tsp toasted (or plain) sesame oil.
Heat the oil in wok/skillet until very hot, smoking slightly (don’t forget to swirl it round to cover the cooking area first); add crushed garlic and stir fry about 30 seconds; stir in the solid ingredients and spices (not sesame) and stir fry 3 – 4 minutes, till tender but crisp; add the stock, cover the wok/skillet, and cook for 3 –4 mins more. Remove cover, stir in the sesame oil, serve on hot dish.

This is delicious as a supper snack with noodles. If you want more substance, throw in a few medium shrimp (as many as you want!) at the second stir fry, before the stock is added. If the shrimp are already cooked, put in with the stock
