Transform pork mince into a quick and delicious Asian-inspired meal, perfect for a light and flavorful lunch or dinner in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
  • 1 long red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 40.00 ml rice vinegar
  • 48.80 gm oyster sauce
  • 42.00 gm soy sauce
  • 22.00 gm sweet chilli sauce
  • 10.00 gm cornflour
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 500g lean pork mince
  • 100g snow peas, sliced on an angle
  • 82.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 160g rice stick noodles, cooked according to packet instructions
Instructions:
  • Begin by peeling the cucumber and using a peeler to create long ribbons, making sure to discard the seeds in the center. In a bowl, mix together the sugar, chili, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cucumber to the mixture, toss, and let it sit while you prepare the stir-fry.
  • In a bowl, blend the sauces with 1/2 cup (125ml) water. In a separate small bowl, combine cornflour with the remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
  • Begin by heating oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Sauté ginger and spring onion for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add pork and stir-fry until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in sauce and cook for 2 minutes. Add snow peas and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until tender. Mix in coriander. Serve by dividing noodles into 4 bowls and topping with pork and pickled cucumber.
