PREPARE THE NOODS
Boil the kettle. 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 8-10 minutes until cooked through and glassy. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
COCO COCONUT
Place the coconut flakes in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
PAD THAI FRY
Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Pork pieces and brown for 2-3 minutes, shifting occasionally. Once browned, remove from the pan, season, and set aside. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary. Add the spring onion whites and grated Garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the sliced Cabbage and fry for 1-2 minutes. Stir through the pad thai dressing, cooked noodles, halved pak choi, the pork and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are warmed through and the leaves are wilted.
OPTIONAL EGG
Push the noodle mix to one side in the pan, leaving a space to crack 1 egg. Scramble the egg with your spatula or wooden spoon and sauté until cooked to your preference. Once cooked, mix through the noodle mixture. Add ¾ of the chopped coriander, a squeeze of Lemon juice, and some seasoning to taste.
PAD THAI TIME
Plate up your pad thai noodles. Sprinkle over the toasted coconut. Garnish with the sliced spring onion greens, remaining coriander and a Lemon wedge. Tuck in!
