- Heat your oil in a wok or frying pan on a medium-high heat
- Fry off the meat for a few minutes until browned, stirring or tossing frequently
- Add in your vegetables, starting with any that take a bit longer. (You may want to par boil first so they are partially cooked yet firm). Still stirring frequently
- Add in your spices, keep stirring. You can add extra soy sauce and maybe use 1 teaspoon of cornflour to help thicken it up.
- Allow it to cook for a further few minutes, stirring until you have the consistency you like.
- Serve with some noodles or rice and garnish with some sesame seeds, or chopped spring onions.
