Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pork

Heat 3 tbsp of sesame oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the lean pork mince, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Fry for about 8 minutes, or until the pork is browned all over.

Step 2: Prepare the Noodles

While the pork cooks, boil a kettle of water.
Place the egg noodles in a heatproof bowl, pour the boiled water over them, and let them sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.
Drain the noodles and set them aside.

Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Add the chopped ginger and crushed garlic to the pork in the pan.
Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors blend.
Toss in the stir-fry vegetables and continue to stir-fry for a few more minutes until the veggies are slightly softened but still crisp.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp of soy sauce with the cornflour to create a paste.
Add the remaining soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, and 2 tbsp of water to the cornflour paste.
Pour this sauce mixture into the pan with the pork and vegetables.

Step 5: Combine Noodles and Sauce

Add the softened, drained noodles to the wok.
Stir everything together, making sure the noodles are well-coated with the sauce.
If the stir-fry looks a bit dry, add a splash of water to help coat the noodles.

Step 6: Serve

Once everything is combined and heated through, remove from the heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty pork stir-fry!

FAQs

Can I use a different type of meat?

Yes, you can substitute the pork mince with chicken, beef, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Just adjust the cooking time as needed for different proteins.

What if I don’t have sesame oil?

If you don’t have sesame oil, you can use vegetable oil or olive oil as a substitute. The flavor will be slightly different, but the dish will still be delicious.
