Ingredients

  • ½ a packet of thin rice stick noodles (rice vermicelli)

  • 500g Chinese barbecued pork

  • ¼ cup chicken stock

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp peanut oil

  • 1½-2 tbsp curry powder

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tsp minced ginger

  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced

  • 1 red capsicum, deseeded and finely sliced

  • ¼ Chinese cabbage, shredded

  • 1 cup mung bean sprouts

  • salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 eggs

  • coriander for garnish

Method

  1. Place noodles in a large, heatproof bowl. Pour over boiling water to cover and soak for 5 minutes, gently stirring to break up any clumps. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse.

    Cut the barbecued pork into thin slices.

    In a small bowl, mix the chicken stock, soy sauce and brown sugar. Set aside.

    Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the oil and when it is hot, add the curry powder, garlic and ginger. Stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Add the onion and capsicum and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until it begins to soften, then add the cabbage and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.

    Stir in the bean sprouts, cook briefly, and then add the pork and the noodles. Add the sauce, tossing the ingredients carefully to mix. If too dry, add a bit more chicken stock or water as needed.

    Add salt and black pepper to taste, and more curry powder, soy sauce or sugar if desired.

    Make a simple omelette by whisking the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water and cooking in a small non-stick pan. When cooked, remove from pan and roll up. Slice thinly and scatter over the noodles. Garnish with coriander and serve.
