Method

Ingredients

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok until smoking hot. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, chilli and lemongrass. Fry for 1 minute.

2. Add the pork but don’t stir immediately; let it catch a bit, then stir. Add the soya and peanut sauces – you may need to add a touch of water – then toss in the noodles.

3. Serve the stir-fry with the pickle, salad onions, cashews, basil, coriander and pak choi.

Cook's note: Substitute pork mince with chicken.
