Ingredients

Method
  • 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)

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.
