2

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the pork mince and mushrooms. Fry until browned, 5-6 mins.

c) Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Cook the Noodles and Pak Choi
3

a) Meanwhile, when your pan of water is boiling, add the noodles and pak choi. 

b) Cook until tender, 4 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop the noodles sticking together.

Make your Fragrant Broth
4

a) Once the mince is browned, stir in the ginger, garlic & lemongrass puree and soy sauce.

b) Cook until fragrant and the soy has evaporated, 1-2 mins.

c) Stir in the boiled water for the soup (see pantry for amount) from your kettle, chicken broth paste and sambal. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.

Simmer and Season
5

a) Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer your broth for 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

b) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

 

Serve
6

a) When ready, share the cooked noodles and pak choi between your bowls.

b) Pour the pork and mushroom broth over the noodles and veg to make your soup and tuck in.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The broth is widely praised for its fragrant, warming depth, though some find it can lean salty or slightly bland depending on seasoning choices.
  • Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick and straightforward dish, with many noting it comes together in well under 30 minutes.
  • Suggestions: Add a squeeze of lime juice, a soft-boiled egg, fresh chilli, or extra veg such as red pepper, spring onions, or bean sprouts to round out the flavour. Consider cooking the pak choi separately and adding it at the end to avoid it becoming too soft, and chop it into smaller pieces for easier eating.
  • Next-day meals: If keeping leftovers, note that the broth thickens considerably as it sits, so set aside a little extra stock to loosen it when reheating.
  • Portions: Some find the noodle portion on the smaller side, and a few suggest using slightly less to keep the balance with the broth.
