I love South East Asian spicy flavours, but I sometimes need the delicate Japanese flavour that is so gentle and soothing. ‘Somen (Japanese thin noodles)’s texture goes well with this light flavoured stir-fry. If you don’t have ‘Somen’ noodles, Rice Vermicelli or very thin Spaghetti can be used instead.

Steps

1

Slice Pork very thinly and season with Salt and White Pepper. Lightly whisk Eggs in a bowl and season with Salt and White Pepper. Slice Onion and Ginger into thin strips.
2

Cook ‘Somen’ Noodles as instructed. DO NOT add Salt into the water. Noodles need to be cooked quite firm as you will stir-fry later. After drained, sprinkle Sesame Oil to stop stick together.
3

Heat 1 tablespoon Canola Oil in a frying pan and cook Eggs to make firm scrambled egg. Transfer to a plate.
4

Add 1 tablespoon of Canola Oil to the hot frying pan and cook Pork. When the Pork changes colour, add Onion and Ginger and cook until soft. Add 'Mentsuyu' Sauce, then combine with cooked ‘Somen’ and the egg.
5

Sprinkle extra Soy Sauce over if required, and some chopped Spring Onion and serve.
