• 3 Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add in the fries and simmer for
  around 7 minutes.
• 4 Drain the water from the pan and give it a gentle shake to roughen up the edges
  of the fries a little (shake gently otherwise you could break up the fries!).
• 5 Add 2 tbsp of coconut oil [https://geni.us/avvcoconutoil] to a large baking tray
  [https://geni.us/avvbakingtray] and then add the tray into the preheated oven to
  heat the oil.
• 6 Carefully transfer the part-cooked fries onto the preheated tray (watch out for
  spitting oil).
• 7 Cook the fries in a preheated oven for 15 minutes and then turn them over with a
  spatula. Place them back in the oven for 15 minutes until they are crispy and
  golden.
  
  Once you have turned over the fries it’s time to start the stir fry.
• 8 When the fries are 15 minutes away from being ready, start making the stir fry
  by heating a large wok with 1 tbsp coconut oil [https://geni.us/avvcoconutoil].
• 9 Add the sliced onion, garlic, red pepper, mushrooms, broccoli and chilli and
  stir fry for 5 minutes on high heat.
  
  Note: If you would like to add vegan beef or tempeh to your stir fry, add it to
  the pan first and fry it for 2 minutes before adding the veggies.
• 10 Add the cherry tomatoes, vinegar, soy sauce, stock and marmite and stir
  together. Cook for a further 3 minutes.
• 11 Make a cornflour [https://geni.us/avvcornflour] slurry by combining the
  cornflour [https://geni.us/avvcornflour] with 1 tbsp water. Pour this into the
  pan and cook for 1-2 minutes. Season the stir fry with salt and pepper to taste.
• 12 Take the stir fry off of the heat and let it stand for 2 minutes to thicken up
  whilst you dish up your beautiful crispy fries and microwave
  [https://geni.us/avvmicrowave] your rice.
• 13 Sprinkle your fries with sea salt and serve the Lomo Saltado stir fry alongside
  the cooked rice. Sprinkle with fresh coriander.
  
  Note: Traditionally the chips are stirred into the stir-fry veggies on serving,
  which is blinking fabulous as they soak up all of the delicious sauce.
  Beautiful!
