RECIPE STICKY SOY AND HOISIN PORK

420g-450g pork fillet
2.5cm piece fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
375g dried medium egg noodles
2 tsp sesame oil
300g mixed sugar snap peas, mangetout and green beans, all cut in half lengthways
2 tbsp sunflower oil

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Place the pork in a shallow dish and add the ginger, garlic, hoisin sauce, honey and soy and turn to coat the pork. Chill for about 15 minutes to marinate.
Meanwhile, place the noodles in a bowl, pour over boiling water and leave for 5 minutes until softened. Drain and toss with the sesame oil.
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the vegetables for just 2 minutes, then drain and refresh under cold running water. Set aside.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large ovenproof frying pan, add the pork and fry all over for 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining marinade and a splash of water, then cover with foil and roast for 15 minutes until it’s cooked and the sauce is sticky.
Remove the pork from the sauce and put on a board. Add the noodles to the pan with the vegetables and toss well. Pile the noodles and veg into bowls, slice the pork and serve.
