Instructions

  1. • Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop Asian greens. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice celery, spring onion and portabello mushrooms. Drain the sweetcorn.
  2. • Heat a large deep frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook mushrooms until tender, 3-4 minutes.
    • Add sweetcorn, carrot and celery and cook until lightly browned and tender, 4-5 minutes.
    • Add Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
    TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.
  3. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic, ginger paste and sweet soy seasoning until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
    • Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, the water, char siu paste (see ingredients) and vegetable stock powder. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Return veggies to the pan and stir to combine.
  4. • Divide char siu broth and veggies between bowls.
    • Garnish with spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
