1. Up to a day ahead, and when you have 15 minutes to spare, prepare the ingredients and toss them all, except for the sliced spring onion tops, together in a large pan. Cover the pan with its lid and refrigerate until you're ready to eat.
2. Pour 600ml/1 pint of boiling water over the pork and vegetables and give everything a good stir. Cover the pan and bring to the boil. Stir and cover again and simmer gently for 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the pork is cooked. (The dish can now be chilled and then frozen for up to 1 month). Just before serving, stir in the spring onion tops. Ladle into bowls with rice or noodles.

'This was amazingly easy, it was warming, filling and ideal for the autumn. It all cooked perfectly in one pan and there was lots of lovely sauce too.'

  dull, watery and pretty tasteless. A disappointment as I had high hopes for it.

  i browned the meat first in sesame oil and then followed the recipe. I also added red pepper flakes to the pot.

  I love this recipe, it's so easy and tasty! I usually put in a little bit more 5-spice and soy sauce, I sometimes slice a chile in half and put that in too. It's best served like a soup in bowls (I also make more sauce than necessary) over noodles or rice. I don't use the spring onions, but often put in courgettes and mushrooms.
