Pork And Noodle Balls With Sweet Chilli Sauce Recipes

PORK, VEGGIE AND RICE NOODLE LETTUCE WRAPS WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the rice noodles and stir to loosen. Let sit until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain well, then rinse thoroughly under cold water. Shake out as much water as possible, then transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Set aside at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, whisk the chili sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, 6 tablespoons of water and 2 good pinches of salt in a small bowl until well combined.
• Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until hot and lightly browned at the edges, about 6 minutes. Add the vegetables and continue to cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes more. Add 2 tablespoons of the chili sauce mixture and toss until well coated and reduced slightly, about 1 minute more.
• Pull off 12 to 16 outer leaves from the head of lettuce. Fill the lettuce leaves with the rice noodles, pork and vegetable mixture, cilantro, mint and peanuts. Serve with the remaining chili sauce mixture on the side for dipping and drizzling.

PORK NOODLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the mince, break it up with a spoon and fry over a high heat for about 8 mins until browning. While the meat cooks, boil a kettle, then pour the hot water over the noodles. Set aside for 5-10 mins to soften.
• Add the ginger, garlic and veg to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Mix 1 tbsp soy sauce with the cornflour to make a paste. Add the remaining soy sauce, the chilli sauce and 2 tbsp water. Drain the noodles and add to the pan with the sauce. Cook until the sauce coats the noodles, adding a splash of water if needed, then serve.
