Pork Stir-Fry With Spinach - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3 large garlic cloves, sliced thinly
5 -6 scallions, sliced
1 long red chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
600 g pork steak, cut in strips
2 -3 tablespoons oil, plus (I used peanut)
1 dash sesame oil
1/4 cup Japanese soy sauce (tamari)
2 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons sesame oil
200 g Baby Spinach

Preparation

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden. Shake the pan gently to keep the seeds moving (and not burning). Remove seeds from pan and set aside to cool.
Combine the garlic, scallions, chili, cayenne and pork. Mix well and set aside.
Combine soy sauce, sugar and 4 teaspoons of sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
Heat the oil with the splash of sesame oil in a wok or heavy-based frying pan. Stir fry the pork (in 3-4 batches) over a high heat until golden. Remove meat and set aside.
Add the spinach and soy, sugar and sesame oil mixture to the wok/pan. Stir lightly and cover. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is soft.
Return pork to the pan, add the sesame seeds, stir well and heat for about 1 minute.
Serve over noodles or rice.
