Method

  1. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the noodles following pack instructions. Meanwhile, mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp water, then stir in the soy sauce and honey, and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat. Add the pork and cook for 2 mins until browned all over. Add the ginger, garlic, pepper and mangetout, and cook for a further 2 mins. Reduce the heat, then add the soy and honey mixture, stirring and cooking until the sauce bubbles and thickens. Divide the drained noodles between 2 bowls. Top with the pork and vegetables, and finish with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Really yummy! I found it hard not to over cook the pork though. Also added a red pepper for some colour.

Yum! I didn't have any corn flour so used plain flour instead, worked well. Also I didn't have any green peppers so used sugar snap peas. So quick and easy to make and tasted so good. Would have this over a chinese take away any day and is so much healthier!

Lovely, quick and easy dish to make for a midweek meal. Best served with noodles than rice. Will make it again.

This recipe looks delicious & easy which is what I look for since I work full time, will definitely try it out & add some more veg to be more filling & healthy.

This is wonderfully quick and very tasty. I used Agave Syrup instead of honey and substituted 1 tbsp of Soy sauce with 1 tbsp of chinese vinegar. The vinegar thins the sauce slightly, as suggested in previous comments and gives a good sharpness to compliment the gingers wamth.
I'll definately be trying this again!

Tried this tonight and it was a bit hit.

I used babycorn, sweet peppers and mushrooms instead of mangetout and I added five spice to the pork before frying. I also poured sesame oil on the cooked noodles instead of using salt in the water.

A tip to those who found this to be salty; don't put salt in the poodle water and make sure to use dark soy sauce not light as light is much saltier.

Will be making again... just my way!

Really enjoyed this.
Due to having coeliac disease I used gluten free soy sauce and used rice noodles rather than egg noodles. Added mushrooms too.
I struggle to buy ready made stirfry sauces from the supermarket as they aren't gluten free but I shall be making this sauce over & over from now on. Easy to do & store cupboard ingredients.
Reminded me a lil of blackbean sauce from the chinese. Yummy!!!

I have to disagree with the others, I found this very bland. Will give it some thought because I like the fact that it is healthy>

Excellent stir fry . Doubled all quantities and added courgette and thinly sliced red chilli. Family loved it. Will definitely do it again.

Really tasty. Tender pork and crunchy vegetables, will be making this again. Added some red chilli which worked nicely.

I have made this a few times and it's always really yummy. I also add sesame oil to the noodles once cooked to give a bit of flavour.

Delicious and quick and easy to make. My 2 and 4 year olds really enjoyed this they had seconds and asked for thirds (but we'd finished it all already!) We used green beans and finely sliced carrots. Will make lots more times.

I was looking forward to making this receipe as love all the ingredients. All went well until I added the soy, honey and cornflour mixture and then it went all thick and congealed. I scoured the recipe for another liquid to add but nothing so added some stock of own accord - that sorted it out thankfully. I added some chilli too for a bit of warmth on a hot day! The mange tout were just wonderful and although pricey will buy again as made the dish.
