Method
- Mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, muscovado sugar and cornflour. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok. Add the cashews and cook for a minute until golden brown. Remove the nuts and tip on to kitchen paper to drain. When cool enough to handle chop finely.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Variations
Cook the cashews in sesame oil, draining any excess into the soy sauce mix.
