• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and sweetcorn until just tender, 4-5 minutes. • Season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• While the veggies are cooking, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook ginger paste, garlic and remaining sweet soy seasoning until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water, char siu paste, chicken-style stock powder, the soy sauce and sesame oil and bring to the boil.
