Description

Ingredients

• 700 - 800g / 1.4 - 1.6 lb white noodles (flour noodles), fresh (Note 1)
• 2 tsp vegetable oil*
• 2 tsp Chinese black vinegar (Chinkiang vinegar)* (Note 2)
• ⅓ cup chicken stock / broth
• 1 tbsp Chilli Bean Sauce (Note 3)
• 1 tbsp Chinese Sweet Bean Sauce (Note 4)
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce (Note 5)
• 2 tsp Chinese black vinegar (Chinkiang vinegar)* (Note 2)
• 1 tsp sugar (white or brown)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1½ tsp ginger, minced or finely chopped
• ½ onion, finely chopped (white, brown or yellow)
• 400g / 14 oz minced pork (ground pork)
• 2 cucumbers, cut into batons (deseed if you can be bothered, I dont!)
• Chinese chilli sauce (Note 6)
• Coriander / cilantro leaves

Directions

• Mix Sauce ingredients together.
• Prepare noodles according to packet directions. If it says to soak the noodles, you can do that while cooking the stir fry.
• Optional: Just before serving, toss the noodles with oil and vinegar.*
• Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute or until onion is translucent.
• Add pork and cook, breaking it up as you go, until browned.
• Add sauce and cook for 3 - 5 minutes, or until most of the sauce has reduced.
• Divide noodles between bowls. Top with pork, coriander and fresh cucumbers on the side.
• To eat, mix up the noodles and pork. I use chopsticks and a spoon - so its easier to get the pork and noodles in one mouthful. Dont hold back on the chilli paste! It goes great with this dish!
