Pork Mince Noodles

 

Ingredients

• 4 tbs peanut oil
• 1000 grams pork mince (ground pork) Note 1
• 4-6 cloves garlic finely chopped
• 8 green onions roots and tips trimmed, cut into 4 segments
• 8 cakes instant noodles
• 1 cup hoisin sauce
• 3 tbs dark soy sauce
• 4 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

Make the sauce: gather the hoisin sauce, dark soy sauce and brown sugar. Combine in a small jug using a mini whisk, then set aside.

1. Cook the pork mince: heat 2 tbs of peanut oil in a large heavy based pan. 
2. Add the chopped garlic and pork mince. Cook till browned and use a wooden spoon to stir and break up any clumps of meat as you go. Remove it from the pan when cooked.
3. Stir Fry the sliced green onions. Stir fry for 2 to 3 mins till they are cooked.
4. Cook the noodles: read and follow the instructions on the packet of noodles. Drain once cooked and add to the stir fried vegetables.
5. Combine: add the cooked pork mince to the cooked noodles and vegetables.
6. Pour the sauce over the contents of the pan and use tongs or chopsticks to stir the sauce through till it is consistently spread across the dish. Allow to heat through.
7. Serve: portion the pork noodles across bowls and provide chopsticks for eating. If you want a garnish, slice some of the green onion top bits and sprinkle over the top. Or use toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
