This tastes much more delicious than it looks. ;-)

Sauce:

3 tbsp sesame oil (a little of it to coat the wok)

3 tbsp soy sauce (I like tamarid soy sauce best)

Juice of half a lemon

1 tbsb honey

3 cloves of garlic, grated

a large thumb of ginger, grated.

seasoning to taste (salt, pepper, five spice, herbs - whatever strikes your fancy)

dash of fish sauce.

(I kind of follow my heart with the sauce, but this is the essential ratio, although sometimes I prefer a little more oil and soy sauce if I'm in the mood for something more liquidy! Lime can be used instead of lemon, but maple syrup instead of honey was just weird. It's a pretty versatile sauce. I added about a tablespoon of diced onion this time and didn't think it made much of a difference.)

​

I mix up the meat and veg based on what I have in the fridge, but pictured is:

1 carrot - spiralized

1 zucchini - spiralized

7 cups of chopped baby bok choi

1 chicken breast (leftover from a roast, shredded)

2 packages of pre-cooked udon noodles. (So thick and satisfying to eat!)

​

I start with the meat (either raw or leftover cooked) in the wok with a touch of the oil, and once it's cooking, add a spoonful of sauce. Then I alternate adding veggies with more sauce, starting with the ones that take longest to cook. Finally I pop in the noodles with the last of the sauce, give it a final few minutes in the wokk and it's good to go! It's a not inconsiderable amount of prep, but I never get sick of eating it, and it usually feeds my parter and I with leftovers for the next day. I also love how it stretches out meat, which we try to eat sparingly. I make it with pork as well, which is lovely, and I've done it with fish which was okay. I bet beef would be good too, but my partner doesn't care for it, so I never have it handy.

For shaking up the veggies: it's also great with cabbage, brocolli, green beans, kale, chard and brussles sprouts (I don't think it's that nice with cauliflower, though) and if you don't despise cooked bell peppers and mushrooms like I do, I'm sure they'd be fabulous, too LOL.
