Preparation
Step 1
Mix Sauce ingredients together.
Step 2
Prepare noodles according to packet directions. If it says to soak the noodles, you can do that while cooking the stir fry.
Step 3
Optional: Just before serving, toss the noodles with oil and vinegar.*
Step 4
Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute or until onion is translucent.
Step 5
Add pork and cook, breaking it up as you go, until browned.
Step 6
Add sauce and cook for 3 - 5 minutes, or until most of the sauce has reduced.
Step 7
Divide noodles between bowls. Top with pork, coriander and fresh cucumbers on the side.
Step 8
To eat, mix up the noodles and pork. I use chopsticks and a spoon - so it's easier to get the pork and noodles in one mouthful. Don't hold back on the chilli paste! It goes great with this dish!
