On to the meal, cube the pork loins/steak into bitesize chunks and season with the 1 tablespoon of Chilli Flakes, paprika powder, black pepper and sea salt to taste. Let it sit to marinate whilst you do the next step, chop your vegetables as shown in the picture above. Most of the flavour will come from the vegetables and sweet chilli sauce so you do not need to over season the pork. You can either cut your carrots into circles, cubes, grate or use a potato peeler to create strips as in my picture (above).

Boil a full kettle of water and place the noodles nest in a pan for boiling. In a wok pour a little oil (1tbps approx..) on medium heat, fry your pork chops, about 2 - 3 mins on both side till brown as it does not take long to cook. Any oil of choice will do, I use vegetable, sunflower or olive oil interchangeably. Then add your shallots and broccoli and fry for 2 -3 mins. Add the carrots after the previous step if you've used a grater/peeled so it doesn't get too soft. If using fresh garlic, add at the same time you add the carrots.

Boil the noodles for about 4 mins in water. The noodles already has seasoning so I don't add salt (my preference). Follow the packet instructions for cooking to add to a stir-fry, I use Sharwood’s or Blue Dragon. You don't want over-cooked noodles as it will finish cooking in the sauce. When it has boiled and separated, pour into a sieve and rinse in cold water to stop it cooking. If you are being super lazy make sure you are ready to add to the sauce almost immediately to the sauce before draining and that way you don’t need to pour cold water on the noodles 😉 The noodles quantity will be for about 4 - 6 people depending if it’s a light lunch or main meal and any sides you might serve alongside. Remember to save half a cup of noodles water, this will be used to help the broccoli cook in the sauce later (if the sauce needs to be loosened).

In the stir-fry add your sweet chilli sauce and ensure it coats the pork and broccoli entirely. If the broccoli is still hard when you poke with a fork, add the noodles water to help it cook and cover with a lid for 3 mins. You can always increase the quantity of sauce you use allow to simmer. Check it is cooked and reduce the heat add the noodles and combine thoroughly.

That's it, it is ready to serve with your choice of sides or packed for lunch 😄If cooking ahead for lunch, allow to cool down and then serve into storage containers.
