Get Frying
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 Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty broth, though some found it a bit bland; adding fresh ginger or lime juice can boost the flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, with most finding it on the table in about 30 minutes.
  • Suggestions: Consider using pork strips instead of mince for better texture; add extra vegetables like bean sprouts or spring onions.
  • Next-day meals: The broth thickens when stored; keep extra liquid aside if planning for leftovers.
  • Spice level: Some found it pleasantly spicy, while others wanted more heat; adjust sambal to taste.
