I have decided to move the blog to Wordpress because it is easier to catagorise recipes. If you are looking for a specific recipe and can't find it here please look at the new Wordpress Blog. Thanks

Char Siu Pork Corn and Bok Choy Stir Fry

Here is another wok recipe I like stir fry's as they are quick, easy and reasonably priced to prepare and they are a great way to use up your left over vegetables in a nutritious meal. I served as is but it would go well with steamed rice, as I said yesterday we are watching our carb intake at the moment. This again would serve 3 good portions 4 smaller ones as is, or 4 good portions if served with rice.

Note: Char Siu Sauce also know as chinese BBQ sauce. It is a paste like ingredient that is dark-red-brown in colour and has a sweet and spicy flavour. Made from fermented soy beans, honey and various spices.
