Bring a pot of water to the boil over a high heat. When the water is boiling, add the noodles to the pot, remove from the heat and leave for 3 mins. After 3 mins, drain the noodles into a colander and then run under cold water to stop them cooking anymore.
Remove the core from the green pepper and thinly slice. Cut the red onion in half through the root, peel and then slice into half moon shapes.
Chop the top and bottom off the carrot, peel and then use your peeler to make carrot ribbons. Run the peeler from the very top of the carrot to the bottom. Repeat until all of the carrot is used up. Pop the carrot ribbons into a bowl and keep to one side for later.
Peel and grate the garlic. Tip: Use a garlic press if you have one! Peel and grate the ginger and then thinly slice the chilli. Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and when the oil is hot add the pork steaks to the pan. Cook for 8 mins on each side, turning halfway through. You want the pork to be golden brown on both sides. Tip: The pork is cooked when the centre is no longer pink.
As the pork steaks cook, heat another frying pan or wok over a high heat and add a splash of oil. Add your pepper and cook for 5 mins. Move them around every minute or so to ensure even cooking. After 5 mins add your onion and cook for another 2 mins. Next add your garlic and ginger and cook for another 1 minute.
Pour in the soy sauce, a third of the hoisin sauce and water (as stated in the ingredient list). Heat until the sauce bubbles, then stir in your noodles. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 3 mins until your noodles are piping hot.
When your pork is cooked, remove the pan from the heat, drain off any excess oil and stir in the rest of your hoisin sauce. Roll your pork around in the hoisin sauce. Squeeze the lime juice onto your carrot ribbons and get ready to plate.
Serve a generous amount of your noodles on a plate and top with some carrot ribbons. Slice each pork steak into six slices and pop on top of your noodles and carrots. Spoon over your hoisin sauce from the pan. Finish with the crunchy beansprouts and if you like it, a few slices of chilli.
