2 teaspoons sesame oil
400g pork mince

Instructions

Stay Awake

In a large frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add cabbage, capsicum and snow peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove from pan and place in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, place noodles and cover with boiling water. Leave for 1 minute, stir to loosen noodles then drain. Add noodles to bowl with vegetables and stir through sesame oil.
In the pan you cooked the veges in, heat remaining vegetable oil and add pork mince. Cook for 2 minutes, breaking up with tongs as it cooks. Add white spring onion and ginger.
Transfer the noodle mix to the pan, add soy sauce and mirin and stir to coat.
Remove from heat and stir through the green spring onion and spinach.
To serve, divide among 4 dishes and garnish with sesame seeds and pickled ginger.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free noodles and check soy sauce, mirin and sriracha (if using) are gluten free.

HFG tip

Tweak the taste: Add 1 finely chopped fresh chilli with ginger and a drizzle of sriracha sauce over the dish just before serving. Swap out the pork mince for sliced shiitake mushrooms for a classy vegetarian dish, or simply add shiitake mushrooms to the existing recipe for some grown-up goodness.
