Sweet Basil Stir-Fry

• 1 pound, 1-23 ounces, weight (1 Pound) Lamb Steak, Beef Steak Or Firm Tofu
• 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
• 1/4 cups Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
• 1 Tablespoon Pure Sesame Oil
• 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1/2 pounds, 78 ounces, weight (9oz) Snow Peas
• 1 whole Red Capsicum (Bell Pepper)
• 4- 1/4 ounces, weight (4oz) Baby Corn
• 1 whole Large Red Chili, De-seeded (unless You're Brave)
• 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves, Loosley Packed
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Or Peanut Oil, Divided

1. Start by cutting your meat into thin strips or cut tofu into small chunks.
2. Place in a medium sized mixing bowl with the garlic, Garam Masala, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil and soy sauce.
3. Mix together and leave to marinade while you prepare the veggies.
4. Dont worry if there is lots of extra marinade, this is also the liquid for the stir-fry.
5. To prepare the veggies break the tops off the snow peas and remove the strings.
6. Remove the core and seeds from the capsicum, trim off any of the white bitter bits and thinly slice.
7. Half or quarter the baby corn (depending on their size).
8. De-seed and finely dice the chili, unless you like some heat.
9. Wash your basil, but do not chop it yet.
10. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok until it starts to smoke and toss in your meat and marinade.
11. Cook over a high heat, tossing continuously for 2 to 3 minutes or until the meat is cooked.
12. Remove the meat and marinade from the wok, placing it all together in a bowl.
13. Add the second tablespoon of oil and toss the capsicum into the wok.
14. Cook for a minute or over high heat and then add the baby corn.
15. Fry for two minutes then add the snow peas and diced chilies.
16. Fry for a further minute or so then add back in the meat, marinade and the basil and toss together.
17. Remove from the heat.
18. I like my veggies slightly on the crunchy side, if you prefer them softer give the corn and capsicum another minute or so.
19. Serve over rice or rice noodles.
