OODLES OF NOODLES
Boil the kettle. Fill a pot for the noodles with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
OPEN SESAME
Place the sesame seeds in a pan (large enough for the stir-fry) over medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.
MAKE MINCEMEAT OF THIS RECIPE
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the quartered mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until golden, shifting as they colour. Add an extra drizzle of oil to the pan, if necessary. Add the grated Ginger and the pork mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Caramelise for 4-5 minutes, shifting occasionally. Add the hoisin sauce and ½ the toasted sesame seeds. Remove from the pan and set aside.
FINISH THE MEIN MEAL
Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Onion for 5-6 minutes until soft and browned, shifting occasionally. Add the chopped Cabbage and fry for 1-2 minutes until cooked but still al dente, shifting occasionally. Add the sliced pickled pepper, the cooked noodles, and the sesame soy. Remove from the heat and toss until combined. Stir through the hoisin mince mixture and season to taste (if necessary).
FINAL TOUCHES
Plate up the Pork chow mein. Sprinkle over the remaining sesame seeds and garnish with the picked coriander. Cheers, Chef!
