Pork Drunken Noodles

February 27

A Thai street food classic which is unbelievably easy to make at home. The sauce leaves you with sweet, sticky and salty noodles that pack a punch from the heat of Thai birds eye chilli. A dish that will certainly step up your weeknight meals!

  • serves Serves 4
  • time 25mins

Method

  1. 1. Cook the rice noodles until tender and drain under cold water and set aside. Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce.
  2. 2. In a pestle and mortar or small food processor, blitz the garlic cloves and chilli until they form a smooth vibrant red paste. Place a large wok over a high heat and add the oil. As soon as it begins to smoke, add the garlic and chilli paste. Stir fry for a minute or so until the paste becomes aromatic.
  3. 3. Add the pork and stir fry until just cooked through for 3-5 minutes.  Add the bok choy and baby corn and fry for another 1-2 minutes until just tender. Add the noodles and sauce and stir fry until the noodles are completely coated in the sauce and the sauce has simmered and reduced slightly.
  4. 4. Remove the wok from the heat and stir through the Thai basil. Serve straight away!

Healthy Singapore Noodles

February 14

Singapore noodles are a standard Chinese restaurant dish, but making them at home is so easy and it also means you can monitor what’s going in to them, adding whatever healthy vegetables you feel like. The addition of curry powder to this dish not only brings a new flavour to it, but it coats the noodles and gives a great texture to every bite.

Chilli and Lemongrass Chicken

July 26

This is a wonderfully fragrant dish that is very easy to prepare. I use chicken thighs here as they have more flavour, but you can easily use chicken breasts instead. The paste made for the sauce can also be used with beef or pork.

Asian Beef Noodle Salad

December 29

This is a variation on the classic Thai dish, Beef Laab, a spicy ground beef salad from the North East of Thailand normally served with steamed sticky rice.  Here I’ve used the spicy ground beef mixture as the main element of a fresh tasting noodle salad.  This dish can be topped with toasted sesame seeds, chopped toasted peanuts or ground toasted sticky rice.
