Method
- 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.
- 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.

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 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.
