  • 1 red pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 2 large carrots, cut into thin strips
  • 100g/3½oz mangetout, cut into thin strips
  • 100g/3½oz baby sweetcorn, cut in half
  • 2cm/1in piece of ginger, cut into thin strips
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch spring onions, thinly sliced

  • 2 limes, juice only
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
