Stir fries are quick and healthy, the transformation of raw vegetables into something deeply pleasurable happens in a matter of minutes. I love Pak Choi, when paired with ginger, garlic and soy sauce it's totally transformed. The addition of sweet potato and cashews for crunch and colour make it a dish you would be happy to serve to anyone anywhere, I like to serve it over a bowl of steaming Thai jasmine rice.
