Instructions
Heat the oil in a heavy based frying pan or wok. Add the garlic, ginger, red chilli and cumin seeds. When they begin to crackle add the broccoli florets and peas and stir-fry over a medium to high heat for about 2-3 mins or until the broccoli is tender.
Stir in the green chilli and a pinch of sea salt. Add the bok/pak choi and cook until they start to wilt but still look fresh. Finally, add the butter and lemon juice stirring until the butter has melted.
