Method

  1. Set aside the seasoning sachet, then cook the noodles to pack instructions. Drain, rinse, then drizzle with 1 tsp sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the garlic and crushed chillies for 30 secs, then add the onion, carrot and peppers and stir-fry for 4-5 mins until slightly softened.
  3. Add the cabbage and cook for 3-4 mins until the cabbage has started to soften slightly. Add the pork, along with the curry seasoning from the noodles, and stir-fry for 2 more mins. Stir in the soy sauce, ketchup, chilli sauce and the white part of the spring onion, stirring well to coat. Add the noodles, toss to coat in the sauce and cook for 2 mins further to heat through. Drizzle with the remaining sesame oil, toss again, then scatter with the green part of the spring onion to serve.
