  • 450 gram pork mince

  • 1 large red chilli, split lengthwise, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 stalk lemongrass, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled, cut lengthwise and sliced thinly
  • 2 cup small broccoli florets
  • 2 cup frozen beans
  • 1 handful snow peas, trimmed of stalks and cut in half

Method

Pork, chilli and lemongrass noodles
  • 1
    While the noodles are cooking, heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan.
  • 2
    Cook the mince, breaking it up to a crumbly texture (this ensures the meat mixes well through the noodles).
  • 3
    When the meat is browned, add the garlic, chilli, lemongrass, carrot, broccoli, beans and snow peas. Mix in the stock and stir-fry until vegetables are tender. Add the soy and fish sauce and brown sugar.
  • 4
    Mix well, then fold in the drained and rinsed noodles, mint, coriander and lime juice. Continue tossing until the noodles are piping hot and the herbs and meat evenly distributed through the mixture. Serve immediately.
