Sweet Crunchy Vegetables Kinpira-Style

Heat the oil and the chilli in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. When the chilli begins to sizzle, add all the veg and stir-fry for a few minutes, until they begin to tenderise. Add the soy sauce, mirin and sugar, mix well and cook until the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze. Add the sesame seeds and sesame oil and stir through.

Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly before serving (it’s better closer to room temperature), or transfer to the refrigerator and eat within five days.
