Apparently having a cold has its advantages. First of all, you go out and buy a nice piece of ginger so that you can make some tea for your cough. Secondly you have some free time to cook in a slow, moderate way. This whole recipe started out from the fact that I had some ginger at home, so I said let's cook something with it. This something turned out to be these fried noodles, one of my few recipes that I was satisfied with a 100% right for the first time.
- 40 dkgs of pork leg, cut in thin slices
- 4-5 spring onions
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 5 dkgs of fresh ginger
- 1 big carrot
- 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds
- 1 fresh chilli
- 1 pack of your preferred type of noodle
- 1 dl of soy sauce
- 1 dl of oil
- 1 tablespoon of caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon of hazelnut oil
- additional soy sauce
- salt, pepper
The first step is to sprinkle the caster sugar on the sliced meat. Then you can add the soy sauce and the oil. You need to chop the garlic and the ginger fine, slice the spring onions and the chili up (after taking out the seeds) and add everything to the meat. Give it a good stir and let it rest until you slice the carrot too. You can grate it too if that's easier.
In a hot pan start frying the meat and when the juice starts to come out, cover it with a lid and let it cook for about 25 minutes until it gets soft. You might need to pour a little bit of water into the pan from time to time, but only a little. When it's almost done, add the carrot and keep cooking them together. When it's done, remove the lid and let all of the water disappear. You can add some more salt and pepper, if needed.
Meanwhile cook the noodles in boiling water. Then put the noodles in a pan with the hazelnut oil and some soy sauce and fry them for about 10 minutes, giving it a good stir from time to time. In the end mix the noodles with the meat and sprinkle the top with sesame seeds that you previously roasted in a pan until they got a golden colour. You can put some chili sauce on top as well.
