Ingredient Notes

Oil – use vegetable or peanut oil for frying.

Chives – onion chives or a combination of garlic and onion chives, these are used instead of onions for a milder flavoured dish.

Garlic – use fresh garlic for the best taste and grate it rather than chopping it fine. If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can use 1 – 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste.

Red chilli – chilli give the dish a little heat. Use as much or as little as you prefer. As a rule, the smaller the chilli the hotter it is. So, if you just want flavour without the heat pick the biggest red chilli you can get.

Pork mince – We prefer to use lean pork mince because it is lower in fat. However, regular pork mince can also be used.

Bok choy – is a light flavour Asian vegetable that stir fries quite quickly. If you can’t get bok choy, add some shredded Chinese cabbage leaves.

Light soy sauce and chicken stock – are used to make the sauce. You can use homemade chicken stock or make some up with water and chicken stock powder.

Noodles – In this recipe we have used udon noodles because of the silky smooth and slightly chewy texture these noodles have. But you could also use another variety of noodle.

If you use frozen noodles, allow them to thaw before heating.

Spring onion, bean sprouts and an extra red chili – are used not only as a garnish it gives the dish addition texture and flavour. If you don’t like chilli leave it out, but don’t skip out on using the spring onions.
