    Tried this with spring greens which we got in our organic box, as I didn't really know what to do with them. Quick and easy to do, worked really well, and persuaded one of our children that greens might be OK. The other one remains unconvinced.

    Simple food very tasty. Very few calories. Wiil cook many times in future. Used a bag of M&S mixed veg/greens. We both enjoyed it. I thought I might feel hungry shortly after - as sometimes happens with stir fry dishes - but that did not happen. Excellent

    I followed Becky C's example and also added some cashews, which was a great move. However, I wasn't super-keen on the texture of the pak chow, which ended up a bit floopy and chewy. Flavour of the dish was lovely, though.

    Easy to follow and with good results. For a slight variation I marinated the strips of beef in the soy sauce, ginger, garlic with added juice of 1/2 a lime and a pinch of sugar while preparing the greens for 15 mins. Steamed Savoy cabbage and pak choy for 5 mins while frying the marinated beef to medium rare - delicious and tender!
