Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon groundnut oil (or other light oil)
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 3 spring onions (sliced)
- 2.5 cm fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 red pepper (cored and sliced)
- 2 nests egg noodles (cook as per instruction on pack for stir-frying)
- 1 large handful beansprouts
- 1 tablespoon roasted peanuts (dry roast in a frying pan for 5 minutes)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Chinese hot chilli sauce (or sub with Sriracha)
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
Marinade
- 180 g pork fillet (sliced into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
Instructions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients into a bowl along with the pork fillet and set aside for 30 minutes while you cook your noodles and prepare the vegetables.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a wok or large frying pan, once hot add the pork and stir-fry to 5 minutes, stir constantly to stop the pork from sticking. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok and add the garlic, spring onions, ginger and peppers, stir-fry for 1 minute, then add 3 tablespoon water to the wok and cover with a lid, cook for 3 minutes like this.
- Return the pork to the wok, along with the noodles, peanuts and beansprouts. Stir constantly and add the final flavouring of sesame oil, chilli sauce and light soy sauce. Serve immediately into bowls.
Notes
If you don't have time to leave the pork to marinade, then don't worry, mix it together and put it straight in the wok, it just won't have the same intensity of flavour.
Cook your noodles in advance as per the instructions on the pack, reducing the cooking time by a minute. You want the noodles to be al-dente as you will be heating them again later in the stir-fry. Drain with cold water to stop them cooking further. You can toss the noodles in a little sesame oil to them to stop them sticking until you require them.
