Pork Belly Rasher Stir-Fry with Rainbow Vegetables

Prep time 10 minutes Cook time 10 minutes

Serves 6 people

Pork belly, while often slow-cooked, can be successfully stir-fried, provided the heat is high and the cooking time short. If no heavy-based wok is available, a heavy-based saucepan is preferable to a light wok for home stoves.
