Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle
Break the wholewheat noodle nests in half over a pot and cover with boiled water until fully submerged
Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5-7 min until tender with a slight bite, then drain under cold water and set aside
2
Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the red onion[s]
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) the ginger
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Roll the lime[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice!) and cut into quarters
3
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a large drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min or until softened
Once softened, add the chopped garlic and ginger and cook for a further 1 min
4
Add the pork mince, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and 1 tsp [2 tsp]sugar to the pan and cook for 6-7 min, breaking the mince up with a wooden spoon as you go
Once cooked, add the soy sauce with the juice of 1/2[1]lime to the pan
Reserve the remaining lime wedges for later
5
While the pork is cooking, shred the little gem lettuce[s]
Top, tail and finely slice the radishes
6
Bash the roasted peanuts in the bag with a rolling pin
Pick the mint leaves from their stems and roughly chop, discarding the stems
7
Add the shredded lettuce, sliced radishes, crushed peanuts, chopped mint leaves, drained noodles and pork mince, including any pan juices, to a large bowl and give everything a good mix up
Season generously with salt and pepper – this is your larb salad
