Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 250g medium egg noodles
Oils
- ½ tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Main Ingredients
- 400g pork mince
- 300g mushrooms, finely sliced
- 30g ginger, finely grated
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced (green and white parts kept separate)
- 3 bok choy, leaves separated (white parts finely sliced, leafy tops left whole)
Sauces & Seasonings
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Follow the package instructions to cook the medium egg noodles. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and set aside to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Heat the Oils: In a large, deep frying pan, heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil together over medium-high heat to prepare for frying the pork and vegetables.
- Cook the Pork Mince: Add the pork mince to the pan and use the back of a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Stir frequently and cook for 2-3 minutes until any liquid has evaporated and the pork begins to brown.
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in the finely sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing them to brown and soften, mixing well with the pork.
- Add Aromatics and Vegetables: Incorporate the grated ginger, crushed garlic, chopped red chilli, and the white parts of both the spring onions and sliced bok choy into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the vegetables have softened slightly.
- Combine Greens and Seasonings: Add the green parts of the spring onions along with the leafy tops of the bok choy. Pour in the soy sauce and Shaoxing rice wine, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
- Toss in the Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss everything together thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce and ingredients.
- Serve: Plate the spicy pork and ginger noodles, garnishing with the remaining green parts of the spring onions for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For a milder version, reduce or omit the red chilli.
- Shaoxing rice wine can be substituted with dry sherry if unavailable.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for added color and nutrition.
- Ensure to break up the pork mince well during cooking to achieve a crumbly texture.
