Fragrant Pork and Lemongrass Noodles

by BBC Good Food

In just 20 minutes you can be enjoying a stir-fry heady with lemongrass, ginger and lime. If you prefer thicker noodles, they'll also work instead of vermicelli.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Prepare the vermicelli noodles following pack instructions, then set aside. Meanwhile, blend or pound together the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, lime zest and chilli. Mix together the soy, oyster sauce and honey in a small jug.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the blended mixture for 2 mins until beginning to soften. Scatter in the carrots, leeks and spring onions and fry for 2 mins more, stirring frequently. Turn up the heat to high, tip in the pork mince and cook for another 5-7 mins. Now add the oyster sauce, soy and honey mixture. Coat well.

Step 3

Drizzle in the fish sauce and lime juice, then scatter in the coriander. Cook everything for 1 min, stirring to combine. Tip in the noodles, heat through and toss well. Serve immediately.
