Transfer the pork with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil to the skillet; add the green beans and stir-fry until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

• Prep the other ingredients and have them all ready before starting--the rest of the cooking is done in MINUTES.
• Heat oil in a wok or large skillet to hot.
• Stir-fry garlic for about 20 seconds until starting to brown.
• Add the chiles (STAND BACK and have the fume hood on HIGH unless you want to cough and cry for half an hour--trust me) and fry for about 30 seconds.
• Add the pork and fry until no longer pink, breaking up lumps, and then stir in the sauce mixture. Let it bubble a bit.
• Drain the noodles and stir them into the wok mixture. Toss until sauce absorbed, 1 or 2 minutes, then stir in the basil and tomatoes until basil wilted, about 1 minute.
• Dump onto a platter or portion onto 4 plates and sprinkle with the mint (essential ingredient!).
• Have plenty of cold beverages ready.

THAI-STYLE PORK NOODLE BOWL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, honey, and fish sauce in a small bowl until blended; set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable oil. Add curry paste, garlic, and ginger paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add coconut milk in intervals, stirring as you pour it in to keep the sauce from separating.
• Add pork strips, carrots, and snap peas and cook until pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add drained noodles to the skillet, then add soy sauce mixture. Simmer until sauce has thickened, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Divide pork and noodle mixture among serving bowls and top with cilantro, lime zest, and juice. Serve immediately.

THAI-STYLE PORK AND PEANUT SPICY NOODLES

Steps:

• Fry up the pork mince over a high heat for 10 minutes or until the juices have evaporated and the pork is crisping up. (Don't let the mince stick to the pan, add a dash of oil to loosen slightly if necessary but a dry non-stick pan will get it crispier)
• Add the garlic and vegetables to the pan and fry for a further 2 minutes stirring continuously
• Reduce the heat and add the noodles and the peanut sauce mixture to the pan, toss everything together and fry for a further 2 minutes or until everything is warmed through.
• Serve with a sprinkle of fresh coriander and squeeze of lime.
