Cut a circle of foil that will fit the bottom of the wok, and scrunch the sides until you have made a container about 12cm/41/2in diameter. Place it in the bottom of the wok and put 75g/5tbsp of the smoking mixture in the bottom. Place the wok over a full heat.

Add the cabbage, carrots, spring onions, bean sprouts, chilli, mint and basil. Toss together. Season with salt and pepper and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
