Preparation tips
- Cut the pork fillet into even strips of similar thickness so every piece cooks uniformly and stays tender; partially firming the meat in the freezer beforehand makes slicing much easier and neater.
- Soak the dried rice noodles in hot water until pliable before adding them to the mixing bowl, then toss them through the stir-fry at the very end so they absorb the soy-ginger sauce without going soft.
- Swap the pork fillet for chicken thigh or firm tofu if preferred, and add a splash of sesame oil just before serving for an authentic finish; spring onions and bean sprouts make a great crunchy topping for children who like milder flavours.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian version: replace the pork fillet with firm tofu or tempeh cubes, use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep it gluten-free, and follow the same ginger, garlic and five spice method for a equally fragrant plant-based noodle stir-fry.
- Festive version: add a handful of cashew nuts and strips of omelette for a richer chinoise-style feast, or serve the stir-fry in lettuce cups with hoisin sauce as an elegant starter during the holidays.
