1 bunch Spring Onions

Handful Kai Lan (Chinese Leaves) or Pak Choi 1 chopped Chilli

• Heat up your wok and add in vegetable oil, then fry your sliced ginger, garlic and shallots.

• Add in the beef follow by the sesame oil, soya sauce and chicken stock.

• Add the Pak Choi and cook, stirring, for a further 30 seconds then set aside.

• Scatter over the remaining spring onion and the deep-fried shallots, if using, and serve in the steamed bun.
