Now back to reality and more ideas …


for your multitasking working week suppers.

How about choosing roast pork for your Sunday roast? It would be perfect for my next idea – ideally choose a roast that's big enough to give you 500g of leftover pork.

A stir fry makes the best and quickest use of your leftover roast so you'll need a wok!

San Choy Bow is Chinese and here's my useless bit of information - “sang choi” means lettuce in Cantonese.

Here goes :
San Choy Bow

Little Gem lettuce cups
(if Little Gem not available use Iceberg -
smaller inner leaves) – I would say 3 per person
depending on size of appetites
500g/1lb2oz leftover roast pork, shredded
1 garlic clove or garlic paste
1 red chilli, finely chopped
150g/5oz chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
6 spring onions, finely chopped
225g/8oz water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
200g/7oz bean sprouts, chopped
Glug of rapeseed oil

3 tbsp hoisin sauce*
1 tbsp soy sauce*
1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce*
1 tbsp dry sherry or Shaoxing (Chinese rice wine)*


Wash your lettuce, pat dry ready to serve.

Combine the four ingredients marked * to make a sauce – this can be made ahead.

Over a high heat add the oil to your wok and cook the garlic and chilli for a minute. Add the mushrooms, onions, water chestnuts and bean sprouts until mixed through and sizzling followed by the shredded pork – 2/3 minutes.

Add the sauce mixture, stirring and sizzling until completely combined for a final 2/3 minutes.

There's more!
