Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large fry pan over a high heat. Ginger, garlic and chilli and cook for 1-2 minutes.

- Add the sugar and fish sauce, leave it to cook for a moment, then stir. Leave it again until the pork starts to caramelise and stir again. Continue until the meat has started to colour.
- Add the hokkien noodles and stir until they are mixed in with the meat. Let cook for 2 minutes until noodles soften and take on flavour.

Recipe notes:
- You can also choose to make this with rice instead. If you’re using rice, omit the noodles during cooking and serve the rice and vegetables over rice.
