Cooked ham is an unlikely but common ingredient in Chinese cooking. Try it in this easy flavour-packed stir fry for two with spring greens and chilli - either use some leftover ham from a roast or buy a couple of slices of thick-cut from the deli counter.

sweet chilli sauce 3 tbsp
soy sauce 1 tbsp

Method

Step 1

Heat 2 tsp oil in a wok and add the greens and spring onions and a splash of water. Stirfry until just wilted, then tip onto a plate.
Step 2

Heat 1 tsp more oil in the wok and add the ham and garlic, and fry for a minute. Then add the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and vinegar and toss together until the ham is covered in a sticky sauce. Adjust the flavour with more vinegar or sweet chilli if you like. Add back the greens and toss briefly. Serve with steamed rice.
