Method

  1. Cut the pork fillet in half lengthways, put on a board and cover with clingfilm. Bash with a rolling pin to flatten it to about 8mm-thick then cut into strips.
  2. Mix the five-spice and flour in a bowl. Add the pork and toss to coat.
  3. Heat a wok or large frying pan over a high heat until very hot. Heat half the oil in the wok and add the pork. Stir-fry for 3 mins or until cooked through and golden all over. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Heat the remaining oil in the wok, then add the spring onions, ginger, garlic, beans, broccoli and red pepper and stir-fry for 3 mins, adding 4 tbsp water halfway through.
  5. Stir in the noodles and pork, and cook until heated through. Season with the soy sauce and stir through half the coriander. Serve with the remaining coriander scattered on top.

Tip: An average pork fillet is about 450g in weight, so you could easily double this recipe to feed 4, or save the remaining pork for another recipe, such as this breadcrumbed pork Milanese with spaghetti.
