Hot And Spicy Pork Mince Food

VIETNAMESE CARAMELISED PORK BOWLS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
• Add the onion, ginger, garlic and chili and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the pork mince and cook for 2 minutes or so until white all over, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon.
• Add the sugar and fish sauce. Stir, then leave it to cook without touching until all the juices cook out and the pork starts caramelised - about 2 minutes. Then stir it and leave it again, without stirring, for around 30 seconds to get more caramelisation. Repeat twice more until caramelised to your taste.
• Serve over rice or vermicelli noodles, garnished with sliced scallions/shallots. For a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice! I like to have chunks of plain cucumber and carrots on the side which is a classic way of making Vietnamese bowls.

DAN DAN NOODLES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except oil and chicken stock. Then gently stir in oil and stock - oil should be sitting on surface. Set aside.
• Mix together hoisin, soy, Chinese wine and five spice ("Sauce").
• Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add pork and cook, breaking it up as you, until it changes from pink to white. Add Sauce and cook for 1 minute, then transfer into a bowl.
• Return skillet to stove, reduce to medium heat. Add oil into middle of skillet.
• Add Sui mi ya cai and stir for 30 seconds, just to warm through. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Cook noodles per packet directions.
• Add choi sum for last 1 minute of cooking.
• Drain.
• Ladle 1/4 of Dan Dan Sauce into a bowl. Pile in noodles, top with pork and Sui mi ya cai. Place choi sum on side.
• Sprinkle with peanuts and green onions and serve.
• To eat, mix it all up to coat the noodles well with Sauce, then devour!

SPICY PORK PATTIES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients, except the oil, in a large bowl and chill for 30 minutes.
• Divide the mixture evenly into 12 portions and shape each one into a flat round pattie.
• Heat the oil (enough to cover the bottom of the non-stick frying pan) over moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
• Remove and drain on a paper towel if you wish. Serve hot with dipping sauce or raita.
