Instructions

1

b) Once the pan is hot, add the pork mince. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. 

c) When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

4

a) Add the garlic, pak choi and coleslaw to the pork. Stir-fry, 1-2 mins.

b) Next, stir in szechuan sauce mixture.

c) Bring to the boil and simmer until thickened slightly, 2-3 mins.

5

a) Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.

b) Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat.

c) Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.

Enjoy!
