- 2 tsp cornflour
- 2 tsp Black peppercorns, crushed

In a small bowl combine half of the chicken stock, the remaining soy sauce, the cornflour, oyster sauce, sesame oil and chilli flakes and set aside.
3. Heat a wok over a high heat until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, heat through and add in the marinated pork. Stir-fry for about 1 minute.
4. Transfer the pork to a plate and keep warm. Add the onion and garlic to the wok and cook until slightly softened. Add the broccoli and remaining chicken stock and stir-fry until the broccoli is al-dente, around 3 minutes.
5. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook for about a minute until the sauce is thickened. Return the pork to the wok and add the cashews, mixing well, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, if making the potato baskets, heat the vegetable oil for deep-frying in a owk or deep fat-fryer. Deep-fry the thinly sliced potatoes in 4 basket moulds until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
5. Spoon the stir fried pork into the potato baskets, garnish with salad onions and coriander and serve at once.
