Recipe Notes
Toast the sesame seeds separately before cooking to bring out their nutty aroma and extra crunch. Keep the vegetables slightly crisp to add texture and preserve their fresh flavor. For extra heat, leave the chilli seeds in or add a splash of chili sauce before serving. This stir-fry is also delicious with whole wheat noodles or steamed jasmine rice.Wine Advice
A chilled Riesling balances the sweetness of the apples and the gentle heat from the ginger and chilli. For a fruitier pairing, enjoy this stir-fry with a glass of Pinot Gris, whose fresh acidity complements the pork beautifully.Nutrition values
