Stir Fried Pork with Noodles

 An alternative to salad and perfect for those days when the temperature makes you want to get in and out of the kitchen with minimal cooking time. This is a quick dinner dish, the preparation can be done in advance and noodles boiled as the stir fry is being cooked. This is a concept dish and basic, add more garlic, chilli or ginger and some oyster sauce or sweet chilli for extra flavour. Although I have used pork it is just as good with beef, chicken, prawns or tofu substituted for the pork.

How To

Cook the onion

Then the pork

Combine the onion, pork, cooked noodles and blanched broccoli

Toss ingredients together over low heat
