  3. Mist a wok or nonstick frying pan with the cooking spray and stir-fry the pork for 3 minutes over a high heat, until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Stir-fry the onion and peppers for 3-4 minutes before adding the chilli, garlic, ginger and pak choi. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
