CRISPY PORK NOODLES

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, chili oil, lime juice, honey and five-spice.
• Heat canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet on medium-high. Add pork and cook, breaking up into tiny pieces, 4 minutes. Then cook, without stirring, 3 minutes. Turn and cook, stirring often, until crispy and browned, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles per package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
• Toss garlic, ginger and red chile in pan with pork and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Whisk 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid into bowl with vinaigrette, and toss in noodles to coat, adding more liquid as necessary. Then toss with tatsoi until beginning to wilt. Top with crispy pork and sprinkle with scallions and peanuts if desired.

SPICY GLASS NOODLES WITH CRISPY PORK (YUM WOON SEN)

Steps:

• Warm a teaspoon of canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to break the pork into tiny crumbles. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring less frequently, until the pork turns deeply golden and crispy. Set aside.
• While the pork is cooking, set the noodles in a bowl and cover them with hot water to soak. Let them sit until softened, about 10 minutes or until the pork has finished cooking.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop in the noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the noodles are stretchy and tender. Drain and rinse under cool water. Use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the mass of noodles 3 or 4 times: this makes the long noodles easier to eat.
• Combine the noodles, pork, green onions, cilantro, chili, and peanuts in a large bowl. Whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice in a small bowl. Taste and add more of any of the ingredients to suit your tastes, then pour the sauce over the noodles. Use tongs or clean hands to lift the noodles, fold them over, and gradually work the ingredients into the noodles. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving or refrigerate until serving. Garnish each dish with extra peanuts.
• This dish is best on the day that it's made. For serving leftovers, make an extra batch of the sauce and add it to the noodles a few teaspoons a time, stirring the noodles until they loosen and become slippery again.

• Tip the noodles into the boiling water and boil for 4 minutes until softened. Meanwhile, add the pork strips to the wok and fry until the meat changes colour. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook for a minute or so until the mushrooms start to soften.
• Stir in the sauce until everything is well coated. Drain the noodles and toss into the wok with the beansprouts and cashews. Heat until the beansprouts start to soften slightly then serve.

PORK NOODLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
