PICKLE THE Cucumber
Boil the kettle. In a bowl, add the rice wine vinegar and 1 tbsp of a sweetener of choice. Mix until the sweetener has fully dissolved. Add the diced Cucumber and the chilli flakes (to taste). Toss until fully coated and set aside to pickle.
OODLES OF NOODLES
Using a shallow bowl, submerge the noodles in boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Give them a stir, cover with a plate, and set aside to soak for 6-8 minutes until cooked and glassy. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
TOASTY NUTS
Place the Peanuts in a nonstick pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and roughly chop.
PERKY Pork
Pat the Pork dry with some paper towel and cut into 1cm thick strips. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the pork and fry for 1-3 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Add the spring onion whites and the grated garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the sweet & sour sauce and 50ml of warm water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, until slightly reduced. Mix in ½ the chopped mint, ½ the chopped coriander, and seasoning. Drain the pickling liquid from the Cucumber.
