This is an oriental explosion of flavour, created in time to celebrate The Spring Festival of China’s Lunar New Year. Fantastic ingredients so simply combined.
Method
- Fill a medium sized saucepan with cold water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, drop in the noodles, turn off the heat and leave to soak for 6 minutes. Stir occasionally to loosen the noodles.
- Gently boil the eggs to your personal liking. Soft but peelable is ideal. Time them to be halved ready to dress the plate / bowl.
- Heat a heavy frying pan with the oil and add the minced pork. Cook 8-10 minutes until the pork is nicely browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan add the pak choi, spinach and red chilli and fry for a few minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add the minced pork and mix well. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan mix the Stokes Real Tomato Ketchup, fresh ginger, malt vinegar and pineapple juice. Bring to a simmer and add generous pinch of fresh coriander and stir in. Keep warm.
- To serve, drain the noodles and divide between 4 bowls. Mix the remaining fresh coriander into the pork mix and spoon over the noodles.
- Drizzle over the tomato sauce and serve immediately.
- Enjoy
