3. Add half of the spring onion and cook over a high heat for 3-5 minutes until just softened then lift them out and add to the cashews.
4. Add the pork and carrots to the wok and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, add the broccoli, mange tout, red pepper and cabbage stir fry for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crunchy.
5. Stir the cornflour mixture to blend the ingredients, pour into the wok and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the spring onion. Serve the stir fry sprinkled with the nuts, the remaining spring onions, set on a bed of noodles or rice.
