Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out a large saucepan, a large frying pan, a small bowl & a sieve
Make the sauce & prep the veg
- To the small bowl, add the tamari, honey, sesame oil and vinegar. Mix well and set aside
- Thinly slice the peppers and spring onions. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Trim and cut the pak choi into bite-sized pieces
Build the dish
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork and pepper and cook for 5 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until golden brown
- Add the garlic, five-spice, half the spring onion and half the chilli flakes (for those who'd like the heat) and cook for 2 mins
- Add the pak choi and sauce. Cook for 5 mins, until the sauce thickens and coats the pork
Time to noodle
- Meanwhile, bring the large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil
- Once boiling, add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
- Add the cooked noodles to the pork pan and toss to combine and heat through. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste
Plate up
- Serve the pork noodles into bowls, sprinkled with the remaining spring onion and chilli flakes (for those who'd like the heat)
