Five-spice potato wedges with stir-fried pork recipe
“Traditionally stir-fries are served with rice or noodles but serving with crunchy potato wedges flavoured with aromatic Chinese five spice seasoning is just delicious and works wonders with the sweet and sour flavoured stir fry. Feel free to add more vegetables to the dish, or in fact swap the pork to chicken, turkey or beef.”

Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas mark 6. Put the potato wedges in a roasting tray and toss with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and Chinese five spice. Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- When the potatoes have about 5 minutes left of cooking time, heat a large wok over a high heat. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil and then quickly stir-fry the pork for 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and put into a bowl. Add the ginger, onion and peppers to the pan and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until tender, then add the pineapple and cooked pork. Toss around in the pan and finally add the soy sauce, rice vinegar and coriander.
- By now the potatoes should be nice and crispy and ready to serve with the stir-fried pork.
