Pork pad Thai

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 T Woolworths peanut oil or stir-fry oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 x 70 g punnet Woolworths crushed garlic, ginger, chilli and lemongrass
500 g pork mince
2 T soya sauce
1 x 190 ml bottle Woolworths Blue Elephant Thai peanut sauce
400 g Woolworths rice noodles, cooked
4 salad onions, thinly sliced
70 g raw cashew nuts, chopped
basil, for serving
coriander, for serving
200 g pak choi, halved

For the quick cucumber-and-radish pickle, toss:

½ cucumber, thinly sliced
6 radishes, thinly sliced
2 t fish sauce
3 T rice vinegar
1 t Woolworths coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar)

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok until smoking hot. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, chilli and lemongrass. Fry for 1 minute.

2. Add the pork but don’t stir immediately; let it catch a bit, then stir. Add the soya and peanut sauces – you may need to add a touch of water – then toss in the noodles.

3. Serve the stir-fry with the pickle, salad onions, cashews, basil, coriander and pak choi.

Cook's note: Substitute pork mince with chicken.
