FLAVOUR INJECTION
In a bowl, combine the sesame-soy marinade with the gochujang paste and white spring onion slices. Pour ½ the marinade into a separate bowl for the stir fry sauce. Place the Pork medallions into the remaining marinade and mix until nicely coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 5-10 minutes.
Peanuts
Boil the kettle for step 3. Place the Peanuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
SILKY 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.
FRY
Place a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, remove the Pork from the marinade, and discard the liquid. Sear the pork for 4-5 minutes until browned all over, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion and season.
BRING IT HOME
Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the grated ginger and the cabbage and carrot mix for 1-2 minutes, until slightly wilted but still crunchy. Add the reserved marinade from step 1 to the hot pan, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced and thickening. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the Pork medallions to baste and heat through.
