Start the countdown to speedy Asian dinner with sweet and sour pork noodles.

440g packet fresh hokkien noodles
400g pork stir-fry strips
1/3 cup (80ml) light soy sauce
1/4 cup (60ml) sweet chilli sauce
2 tbs rice vinegar
1 tbs caster sugar
2 tbs sunflower oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3cm piece ginger, thinly sliced into matchsticks
1 onion, sliced
1 large red capsicum, thinly sliced
Thinly sliced red chilli and coriander leaves, to garnish

Method

1.

Cook noodles according to packet instructions. Drain, then set aside. Place pork, sauces, vinegar and sugar in a bowl and stir well to combine. Heat 1 tbs oil in a wok or large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Drain pork, reserving marinade, then stir-fry meat in 2 batches for 3-4 minutes until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon. Set aside.
2.

Wipe the pan clean and add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger, onion and capsicum for 1 minute or until capsicum is heated through but still has some crunch. Return the pork to the pan with noodles and the reserved marinade and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
3.

Divide among bowls, then serve garnished with chilli and coriander.
