Making the BBQ Sauce 

In a sauce pan add all of the BBQ sauce ingredients together, gently bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for 15 minutes. Mix corn flour slurry and slowly stir in to the sauce to reach the required consistency. Remove star anise and cinnamon and set to one side 

 

Make the dish 

Heat a non-stick wok over a medium heat, add 1 tbsp. oil along with the spring onions and garlic and fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add onions and carrots stir-fry for a further minute. Add beansprouts and fry for another minute, then season with oyster sauce, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Mix well, add chicken stock and bring to the boil. Once boiling, thicken with corn flour mixture by slowly pouring into the pan whilst stirring continuously. Remove from heat, add sesame oil and transfer to a serving plate, arranging the sliced pork over the top. Drizzle with BBQ sauce and serve.
