CRISPY PORK WITH SAUCY SPICY NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pan, heat the sesame and chilli oils together then add the garlic.
• Cook until fragrant (30 seconds, or so) then add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey and chilli flakes.
• Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry then add and allow to simmer. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Set aside.
• Chop the pork into bite-size chunks. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and soy sauce.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch and salt together. Coat the pork first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the flour again.
• Heat a large pot of vegetable oil over high heat and once hot, carefully add the pork in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.
• Cook the noodles in a large pot of salted water until al dente then drain. Toss the noodles with the sauce.
• Serve the noodles and sauce in bowls topped with crispy pork and spring onion.

PORK NOODLE STIR-FRY

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.

DELICIOUS PORK AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Sprinkle all sides of your pork loin liberally with salt and pepper.
• Spray inside of crockpot with spray cooking oil (I do this because it makes cleaning the crock so much easier).
• Place pork in crockpot along with about 1/4 cup of water and cook on low all day or high for about 3-4 hours (cooking time varies according to your crockpot and the size of your pork loin -- if it is large and I need it to be done faster, I will cut the loin into smaller chunks). You will know when it is done, when you can shred it with a fork.
• About 15-20 minutes before I want to serve, in a pot on the stove, I bring the cans of broth to just the point of boiling and then I add the bag of noodles and cook basically according to the directions on the package. Hopefully, most of the liquid will be absorded, if any is left, you might want to drain it off. For this dish, the noodles should NOT be soupy.
• While the noodles are cooking, remove your pork loin from the crockpot and gently shred the pork. We like it not to be stringy and not to have chunks that are too big. Just nice bite sized pieces.
• When the noodles are done, add the pork to the pot of noodles and stir so pork is distributed throughout. If pork wasn't warm when you added it, let the noodles/pork reheat. Taste - if bland, you'll need to add more salt and pepper.
• Serve with warm bread and a salad. Nice comfort food.
• NOTE - my mom cooks the pork on the stove in a pot. After salt/peppering the pork, I think she browns all sides of the loin and then turns down to low and cooks for 2-3 hours - with a little water or broth in the bottom of the pan. Then she removes the pork to be shredded and in the same pot cooks her noodles and then adds pork back.
• TIP - if you aren't worried about watching fat, add the juice/drippings that are in the bottom of the crockpot to the cans of broth - the drippings add an extra depth to the flavor of the dish!
• NOTE - if your pork loin is on the small side (closer to 1 pound), you will want to use less noodles and less broth. You should be able to get pork with every bite of noodles.

STICKY SOY & HONEY PORK WITH ASIAN NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together the soy, ketchup and honey with the five-spice. Put the pork tenderloin on a baking tray and brush with just under half the sauce. Roast in the oven for 10 mins, then brush with a little extra sauce and return to the oven for a further 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, soak the noodles in boiling water until soft. Drain, reserving about 50ml of the water. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan, add the corn and sugar snap peas, and stir-fry for 3 mins, adding the water to help the veg steam.
• Add the stir-fry veg and half the spring onions, and cook for 3 mins more until wilted. Tip in the noodles and the rest of the sauce. Using tongs, mix everything to combine. Remove the pork, cut into slices and serve on top of the noodles. Scatter with remaining spring onions.
