Chilli And Ginger Pork Stir Fry With Pak Choi And Noodles Recipes

PORK AND BOK CHOY STIR FRY

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and sugar. Stir in white wine and soy sauce until smooth; set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir fry pork in canola oil until lightly browned. Add carrots, garlic and ginger; stir-fry for 2 minutes.
• Add bok choy to skillet and stir-fry until bok choy is wilted.
• Stir soy sauce mixture and add to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
• Serve with rice or noodles.

TERIYAKI SALMON WITH SESAME PAK CHOI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put 2 skinless salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish.
• Mix 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp mirin or dry sherry, 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tsp finely grated ginger in a small bowl and pour over the salmon so the fillets are completely covered. Bake for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, cook the pack choi. Cut a slice across the base of 2 large pak choi so the leaves separate.
• Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil and 2 tsp sesame oil in a wok, add 3 grated garlic cloves and stir-fry briefly to soften.
• Add the pak choi and fry until the leaves start to wilt. Pour over 75ml fish or vegetable stock, tightly cover the pan and allow to cook for 5 mins - you're aiming for the stems to be tender but still have a bit of bite.
• Serve the pak choi in shallow bowls, top with the salmon and spoon over the juices. Scatter with 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds and serve with brown rice or noodles, if you like.

SPICY GINGER PORK NOODLES WITH BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Trim bok choy and separate dark green tops from white stems; leave tops whole and thinly slice stems. Peel ginger and finely chop half of it. Slice remaining ginger into thin matchsticks.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and run under cool water; drain again.
• Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, breaking up with a fork, until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar. Use a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a bowl.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Stir in half the scallions, the finely chopped ginger, the garlic and the chile. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bok choy stems and a pinch of salt. Cook until bok choy is almost tender, about 2 minutes. Toss in leaves and return pork to skillet.
• Toss noodles, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar into the pan. Cook until just warmed through.
• Transfer to a large bowl and toss with remaining scallions, sesame seeds, sesame oil and herbs. In a small bowl, combine ginger matchsticks with just enough black vinegar to cover. Serve ginger mixture alongside noodles as a garnish.

CHILLI AND GINGER PORK STIR-FRY WITH PAK CHOI AND NOODLES

Steps:

• To make the marinade, put the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and ginger, along with a little seasoning, into a large bowl. Trim the fat from the pork loin steaks and cut into strips. Add the pork to the marinade, stir well, cover with clingfilm and leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
• Heat a large wok until hot then add the vegetable oil and the marinated pork and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until nicely browned. Tip into a bowl and set aside.
• Finely chop the chilli and spring onions (from the stir-fry vegetable pack) and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the baby corn and broccoli and a splash of water and fry for 2-3 minutes. Then add the rest of the vegetables and the oyster sauce and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add a little water to make it a little more saucy. Stir in the cooked pork and cooking juices, heat through for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
• Cook the noodles in a pan of boiling salted water for about 4 minutes until tender but still retaining a slight bite, then drain and immediately toss with a little sesame oil. Divide equally among serving bowls, then spoon over the pork, vegetables and serve at once.
