Method

  1. Mix half the ginger with the soy, honey and five-spice in a shallow dish. Add the pork steaks and turn in the mixture to coat. Grill for 6-8 mins, turning once, until the pork is cooked and nicely browned.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, then quickly fry the remaining ginger with the kale and chilli for 2 mins until wilted. Drain the noodles and add to the pan, tossing everything together. Serve with the pork steaks.

    Really easy, but I would go a bit scant on the chili-pepper next time. Jalapenos are what we have here in Korea, and they are rather fiery. I'd use a red bell pepper for colour and just a pinch of "gotchoo-kahroo" [jalapeno flakes] for fire.

    Sounds very similar to what I did a few days ago. Put smooth mustard, tabasco sauce, runny honey, juice from a lime, then the rest of the ime put into the marinade, whatever herbs and seasonings you like. Stirred it well, then added garlic cloves, quartered shallots, and a wedged apple. Pork steaks - left to marinade - turned them a few times. Then the whole dish into the preheated oven (gas 4) for maybe 20 minute., depending on how thick the steaks are.

    Very easy, my children loved it and cleared their plates. Substituted kale with pak choi and I used ready prepared chilli from a jar and was lovely. Will make again.

    Needed to cook the pork and kale for longer than recipe says but the finished dish was lovely and will certainly be cooking it again.

    The pork was nice but the noodles with kale was a bit bland

    I used half the amount of honey (as not to keen on my savoury food being too sweet), and added spring onions and orange pepper to the kale mix. Was a tasty midweek supper.

    Very bland even with chilli. Needs a sauce desparately! Would be better cooked in the oven in the marinade and served with the juices

    Really tasty, quick and cheap! Next time I make it I'm going to fry the noodles in the sauce too as it was a tiny bit dry.

    I agree that if you grill the pork in the grill rather than using a grill pan on the hob it takes about 20 mins but is really succulent. I also left the meat in the marinade for about 10 mins before cooking and then added what was left of the marinade to the noodles and pak choi half way through cooking noodles. Thanks to everyones suggestions, it was excellent!
