Pork noodle stir-fry

Method 1

Ingredients

3 tbsp sesame oil

350g lean pork mince

350g egg noodles

thumb-sized piece ginger

peeled and chopped, or 1½ tbsp ginger purée

3 garlic cloves

crushed, or 1 tbsp garlic purée

320g stir-fry veg

(we used 2 x 160g bags of mangetout, baby sweetcorn, beansprouts, carrots and peppers)

4 tbsp low-salt soy sauce

2 tsp cornflour

4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

step 1

Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the mince, break it up with a spoon and fry over a high heat for about 8 mins until browning. While the meat cooks, boil a kettle, then pour the hot water over the noodles. Set aside for 5-10 mins to soften.

step 2

Add the ginger, garlic and veg to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Mix 1 tbsp soy sauce with the cornflour to make a paste. Add the remaining soy sauce, the chilli sauce and 2 tbsp water. Drain the noodles and add to the pan with the sauce. Cook until the sauce coats the noodles, adding a splash of water if needed, then serve.

3. In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the bell pepper and onion, and stir-fry until slightly softened.

4. Return the cooked pork to the pan. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together and cook for another minute.
