4 Ingredients (and garnish)

With just 4 simple ingredients (5 if you count two different cuts of green onion), this is a crisp, fresh and vibrant side to accompany any Asian main dish.

I threw this together the other day for a nice add-onto my pork tenderloin – reached into the crisper and found snap peas, bean sprouts, garlic and green onion. Nice and easy and as long as you don’t overcook, you’ll also maintain that beautiful crunch that comes along with fresh vegetables.

Soy sauce, garlic and sesame are the big flavours in this one. All winners!

As with all stir-fries, of course, add, subtract or substitute anything you might have in your fridge or pantry! In writing this, I realize this would also be super good with baby corn or bamboo shoots.

If I can invent something like this, you can too!
