This dish packs a punch with the perfect blend of sweetness from the chili sauce and savory pork mince. You can pop all of the vegetables in with the mince to cook, or if you have a little extra time you can take plating to the next level and serve some on the side either pickled or raw for a pop of freshness. This receipe was given to us by Tanya Ricketts from Sesame Lane Marketing, who said “I use a lot of mince when cooking meat as my son sometimes has trouble chewing and swallowing larger cuts of meat in stir frys. Mince is also great for my family grocery budget and it’s so versatile! I hope you love this dish as much as my family does.”

1 tbs oil
1/3 cup oyster sauce
