Sticky Pork with Hokkien Noodles

If you're looking for a SUPER QUICK weeknight meal with flavour that packs a punch then this is it. You will have this on the table in no time and it can work all year round depending on what veggies you include. Serves 4 Time 30 mins Ingredients: 1 ½ tbsp peanut oil 2 tsp ginger, grated 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped 500g pork mince 3 tbsp brown sugar 2 tbsp fish sauce 2 limes or lemons, juice of 400g hokkien noodles 4 cups chopped stir fry vegetables (i.e. broccoli, beans, carrots, capsicum) Handful of roasted peanuts, chopped Instructions: Heat oil in a large fry pan over a high heat. Ginger, garlic and chilli and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the pork mince and cook until white all over, breaking up any chunks. 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. Add the vegetables and use tongs to move them around to cook without breaking the noodles. Continue until the noodles and vegetables are cooked and the pork is caramelised. Top with roasted peanuts and enjoy! 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.
