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!

  • 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!
